Early 2009 Macbook won't install El Capitan
I have a Macbook 5,2 early 2009 with a 250 Gb SSD, 4Gb of ram that should be able to run 10.11 El Capitan. I tried downloading and installing from Apple and the install fails with just the message that it can't be installed, no more information than that. So I removed the SSD and installed a HDD but get the same failure. I've even tried putting the SSD in a dock and trying to install...same thing.
I've downloaded and stored all of the recent installers from my purchases in the App Store and using that still get the same install failure. Currently the Macbook is running 10.10 but I wanted to get it as up to date as possible. Just cant figure out why 10.11 won't install.
Ideas?
