[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1788923, member: 42497"] It is a 2008 model and is capable of running up to El Capitan OS X.11.6. Did it boot nthe MBA and where did El Capitan come from? If it is from the App Store and you used a recognised method of making the bootable thumb drive, such as Diskmaker X, the problem maybe with the MBP or its hard drive. Thumb drives are better as the chances a ten year old notebook's DVD maybe shot. [/QUOTE]
