Error Issues w/USB Fresh El Capitan install to SSD drive
Hi,
I created USB flash installer drive in terminal.
Installed the SSD in machine. (formatted OS X journalled)
Pressed power and alt key.
Chose the SSD to install OS X El Capitan onto...
I'm getting the 'An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again'.
The date was correct in Terminal but I re-entered just in case.
I tried to erase the SSD in disk utility whilst it was in my machine but that also failed saying disk couldn't be unmounted.
What could be the issue? What are my options?
I'm currently creating another installed on a different flash drive.
Should I be formatting the SSD in a different way i.e. with a partition/GUID?
Thanks,
Chris
