However, every time I try to boot from the USB drive I keep getting the aforementioned screen.
Then I noticed that when I was choosing which drive to boot from that my USB thumb drive indeed showed up and was a viable option which i did select. I did a Verify Disk and it said all is well. I thought i already had the OS X installed on the usb drive.
I would in both circumstances get the screen that says 'OS X' Installer' Then it says 'To set up the installation of OS X click continue. When I selected the USB drive in System Preferences (under the Start Up Disk option) and also using the Start Up Mgr. I had never done a Terminal entry up until tonight.Īfter completing the boot drive I attempted to boot the 17' MBP using the thumb drive and I could not get past a certain point. My next project is to do the same thing on my friend's 2010 17' MBP running Yosemite 10.10.5Īs I discovered, the creation of this particular usb bootable drive is different vs. I recently created a usb boot drive for my 2009 MBP running Lion and everything worked fine when i installed my ssd (thanks to you folks).
