Open the DiskMaker X disk image (.dmg) file and you will get a window with the application.
- Download the El Capitan installer and Diskmaker X. Insert an 8GB (or larger) flash drive. If you have any other data on that flash drive, back it up now, because the installer will delete.
- Very many thanks for a most helpful response which I have implemented, coupled with Eric Roots DiskMaker suggestion which I have used. I created a new partition on my MacBook and, having restarted and opened into that new partition, I then installed the downloaded El Capitan and all seems to be well.
DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) is an application built with AppleScript that you can use with many versions of OS X to build a bootable drive from OS X installer program (the one you download from the App Store). As soon as you launch the application, it tries to find the OS X Install program with Spotlight. Then, it proposes to build a bootable install disk and make it look as nice as possible. It’s the easiest way to build an OS X Installer in a few clicks ! Then you can use the Install drive to fully re-install the OS on a freshly formated drive, or install it on your many Macs without re-downloading the full installer.
