Stupid Apple! High Sierra Disk Utility does not recognize unformatted drives!

. . . and says something about running both Disk Utility 13 (from Yosemite) and Disk Utlity 15 (from El Capitan) which I don’t quite follow:

If you replace the DiscRecordingUI.framework on an El Capitan usb installer or recovery partition with the one from Yosemite, you can have Disk Utility 13 as well as the new Disk Utility or just replace it. To have both you need to modify two files: InstallerMenuAdditions.plist and Utilities.plist

Apparently this refers to another utility which can add the patched version of Disk Utility 13 to a USB installer drive for El Capitan:

This app will "inject" the Disk Utility included in OS X Yosemite inside an OS X USB Installer. This will allow you to access both the new and old disk utility from the Utilities menu.

Don't know what is meant by "Utilities menu". Utilities folder?

It sounds like this utility both patches the Yosemite version and adds it to the El Capitan installer, but I'm not completely clear about that. Sounds like when you run the El Capitan installer, it will install BOTH Disk Utility 15 and the patched version of Disk Utility 13, and


Can Disk Utility can be renamed without causing problems?
I know some applications do not work properly if you rename them. Could I name it “Disk Utility v13” or “Disk Utility-Yosemite” and put it in the Utilities folder with the OS 10.11 version?
