Hi @RehabMan, I follow your guide in post #1 to install El Capitan 10.11 on my brother's HP Probook 4540s, his laptop has 2 seperate hard disks, one 250GB HDD in caddy bay and one internal 120GB SSD. I intend to install Hackintosh on HDD, before install Hackintosh, I unplugged the SSD to avoid any problem during the installation process and setup BIOS as your guides. Then I created El Capitan USB Installer and succeed in booting to Welcome screen OS X, I used Disk Utility to partition the HDD into 3 partitions, the 1st partition sized 100GB with GPT format for OSX. I chose this partition to install, but this error appear: "OS X could not be installed on your computer because there is not enough free space". I try to re-format HDD many times but still stucked at this step. What should I do? Thanks!
What were the other partitions? Show output of 'diskutil list'.
You should install to the main SATA bay, not the CD-bay.
Note: Partitions are not GPT. Disks are either partitioned MBR or GPT.
