Hi, pretty newbie question, but I have an existing CustoMac running 10.8.2, gigabyte board, 3930k i7. My hardware will run El Capitan, and my main software (ProTools) will run happily on El Capitan. So I've built a USB drive and have a second SSD installed to have a completely separate install of El Capitan, just so that I always have the working os/ProTools combo I need while getting the new stuff set up.
When I select the USB drive to boot, it just skips it and loads by existing drive.
I skipped the "BIOS settings" step of the install on the assumption that the BIOS setup that is currently running for my operational system is correct, but do I need to change anything to get through the install on the new drive? And most importantly, if I change anything, will it screw up my Mountain Lion install?
Thanks!
