Download: OS X El Capitan This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. Create Bootable USB for Mac OS X El Capitan with TransMac A new pop up box will appear, click on the three-dots, and then select the macOS X El Capitan.DMG file from Windows. Then click on OK. Posted November 18, 2015. Hello, I love your bootables versions of OS X, Yosemite was perfectly installed on my FusionDrive with UEFI. But I think I have a problem with the El Capitan version. With the Yosemite bootable USB untouched, Clover shows the good FusionDrive partition ' Macintosh HD'.
Created a bootable USB with El Capitan installer
booted from it, erased my MBP (mid 2009), clean install from USB installer
decided to use migration assistant, most apps not working plus all the clutter from pre clean install
decided to do another clean install but MBP won't boot from USB and uses the recovery version instead.
tried to get Maverick back and basically ended up with a non-working MBP that went into a boot loop
did a reinstall from MAS, ended up DLing the entire Installer again, went to bed and in the morning and 'working'
MBP again, plus all the clutter and non working apps.
Made a new bootable USB key using terminal and yes it finished and yes it said bootable at the end as well as in Disk Utilities.
However when trying to boot from USB, start+Option, or start+cmd+r still no sign of the USB stick, which i guess would leave me
with a non clean install again.
Any help, suggestions.....?
Cheers
