[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1813715, member: 396914"] It should work from a clone, but that might be a bit dicey. I don't know if the check for version is made before the target drive is identified or not. If the test is against the boot drive, a clone won't work. The DiskmakerX process installs a version of the OS on the thumb drive that is compatible with the desired installer. (I wonder if it actually takes the system FROM the installer?) Ugh! Get well soon! [/QUOTE]
