[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1684934, member: 333068"] YAY!!! I did it!!! I successfully did a clean install of El Capitan on my mini!!! I didn't have the same steps as when I installed it on my laptop. The installer wanted to upgrade, but I wanted a clean install. So, I had to back up & use Disk Utilities to nuke the hard drive. Then I did a clean install of El Capitan. The actual install didn't take as long on the mini as it did on the laptop. I was a nervous wreck! I can't figure out how to have Macintosh HD show up in Finder. The Superdrive does show up. How do I get the HD to show up in Finder? I'm keeping my fingers crossed! [/QUOTE]
