[QUOTE="krs, post: 1832924, member: 67742"] Trevor, You mentioned you tried it with a "DVD with ElCapitan on" Could you explain in some detail what you mean by that? Apple never offered any El Capitan install disks - is that a DVD you created or received from somewhere else? I'm trying to understand if what you have, should work. I don't know anything about TransMac but it seems to me I have seen posts in this forum previously where people are trying to install Mac software using some special Windows application and were unsuccessful. PS: Checking on the net - I assume you tried making a Mac USB installer using instructions like these: [url=https://pureinfotech.com/make-bootable-usb-mac-os-x-windows/]How to quickly make a Mac OS X bootable USB on Windows • Pureinfotech[/url] [/QUOTE]
