[QUOTE="fonefreakz, post: 1788922, member: 398777"] Hi Guys, I have a customer that purchased a second hand MacBook Pro A1286. The person that sold it to her deleted the OS from the drive. There was no DVD or media with it. I made a bootable USB drive with El Captain on it. The USB drive works ok, as I tested it on a MacBook Air. The problem is on the MacBook Pro A1286, when I press the option button, it does not take me to the boot manager. It just goes to the internet restore. I am using the standard keyboard on the MacBook. Are these older models able to boot from USB? Thanks heaps Dazza :Cool: [/QUOTE]
