[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1703370, member: 307555"] If the USB installer had been done correctly when you started the computer and held down the Option key what should have been shown as the USB's name would have been OS X El Capitan Installer - or whatever the version was that had been installed on the USB. Basically what the terminal command createinstallmedia does is make the USB bootable and move the install file you downloaded to the USB. This article walks you through how to do it and also has a video that explains it: [url]http://osxdaily.com/2015/09/30/create-os-x-el-capitan-boot-install-drive/[/url] Lisa [/QUOTE]
