    What model Mac?

    What macOS version on theUSB drive?

    How was the USB device created?

    Does it work on another device?

    What do you mean by "from d recovery system"?

    You said "after i easred everything from it" What is "it"

    How did you erase "it"?

     

    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum or other appropriate forum.

    My mac is macbook pro mid 2012, i created a bootable thumb drive with Version Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2  with an app called disk maker x... i used this same thumb drive 2 reinstall the mac x lion on a different macbook and it worked perfectly. I erased my hard drive through the online recovery process with d disk utility and it erased everything on my hard drive then i restarted my mac with my bootable thumb drive to re-install the MAC OS X LION but it didn't work showing me a circle logo

    here is apple's instructions for making a bootable thumb drive to install the OS. If you continue using disk maker X you need to contact their developers.

    Create a bootable installer for OS X - Apple Support

    A mid 2012 MacBook Pro requires 10.7.3 or later since that was what originally came with that model

    OS X versions and builds included with Mac computers - Apple Support

    I would download the latest version of Lion form the Purchased section of the Mac App Sgtore and make a bootable installer using DiskMaker.

    Your Mac also support Sierra so you can use that instead
