Mac OS X
Q: Installing El Capitan on new hard drive using createinstallmedia option
I am not able to restore the OS on an newly installed hard drive. I replaced my hard drive on a Macbook Pro 2009 or 2010 version. I have created a recovery file on a USB thumb drive for El Capitan using the createinstallmedia command from Terminal. The specific command was: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app
booted up the computer holding the Option button but not seeing anything that is running the OS install or options to select an install disk.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
