The following guide is a culmination of various sources across the internet and results in a way to run the classic, Yosemite Disk Utility app under El Capitan. I did not come up with this method, but I figured I would share it here, as it has done wonders for me. You can read the original...

Working on my first Hackintosh build using Clover, and made a mistake that required me to start the installation process over. No big deal, I think to myself, until the USB drive I'd just used for installation couldn't/wouldn't boot. I decided to wipe and re-partition the usb drive and try...
