[QUOTE="BMWe24, post: 1870395, member: 135532"] Gotcha. So I did that, and got the USB drive to show up as OS X 10.10 Install Disk in the 2009 MBP Utilities. Then I tried restarting and held alt/option to choose the USB drive but it still doesn't show up. What am I missing here? When I boot from OS/X Installer it tries to install OS X (no name other than that) and ultimately fails. When I tried booting from the Recovery drive it tries to install El Capitan, but also fails (it does get further than the OS/X installer attempt). [/QUOTE]
