It says:

"If you have a USB stick or disc containing the Mac OS X operating system, you can insert the USB stick into your MacBook Air or connect a disc drive to your MacBook Air’s USB port to restore from the physical media without downloading anything."


QUESTION:

How do get the Mac OS X into our USB Stick ?
