Click on the 'Apply' button to create the partition. With your USB drive plugged in and the El Capitan installer sitting in the Applications folder, launch the Terminal app. I am trying to create a fresh install of OS X on a MacBook Pro (2009 - A1278 - El Capitan 10.11.6 - 2.26Ghz - 8GB DDR3 - 240SSD) so I can sell it. My problem is, I have created a USB bootable drive. Now select the “Recovery HD” on the left in device list and click Mount from the top menu bar. Now click the restore tab in disk utility on the right. Drag the “Recovery HD” volume to the Source field and the indented USB drive partition to the Destination field. Creating Recovery USB drive using Disk Utility.
If the bootable USB has Catalina on it that is not good, a MBP from 2011 cannot install Catalina.
It can only install up to High Sierra. Install el capitan from usb.
In Disk Utility if you want to erase the Disk highlight the Disk not the indented Volume,
so instead of highlighting Main highlight Hitachi, click Erase.
Give the disk a name, Format: MacOS X Extended (Journaled), Scheme: GUID Partition Map,
click Erase.
If you are trying to download an OS through Recovery connect the mac to your router using a cable, do not rely on WiFi.
If you have another mac that you know can run El Capitan you can download it from here
At Section 4 click on Download OS X El Capitan. This will download installMacOSX.dmg
to your downloads folder. Open that and you will get InstallMacOSX.pkg.
Double-click on that, an installation window will open, this does not install El Capitan
but converts the .pkg to the Install OS X El Capitan.app which will appear in your Applications folder.
