[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1684868, member: 333068"] "probably"? "should start"? I got my 1st Mac in June 2013. Before that, I "grew up" with Windows. Please explain why the flash drive icon showed up when I did a clean install of El Capitan on my laptop, which previously had Yosemite, but "EFI boot" shows up instead of the flash drive icon when I try to do a clean install on my mini, which also previously had Yosemite. Is it safe to delete the "boot.efi" file? Can I "unbless" the folder? I don't want to screw something up & have to take my mini to an Apple store & pay the store to do a clean install of El Capitan on my mini. [/QUOTE]
