[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1684932, member: 8287"] Craig, I don't think he saw that RED X but the OSX X with the selector arrow beneath it. To the OP, I just tried a few Bootable Flash drives in a few different Macs. On my Minis they all said EFI boot. On my iMac 2 of them said OSX and 2 said the name of the drive. Depends on the Mac I guess. Maybe some load more system at that point. This is all with Option held down. Also to answer the OPs other question, 10.11.0 and .1, ETC is OSX El Capitan. When the next actual VERSION of OSX comes out it will be 10.12.0 then .1, ETC. 10 means X, 11 after the first dot is the OS version and after the 2nd dot is the update (Sort of like a Windows Service Pack. They call them Point updates. [/QUOTE]
