I'm obviously being a total noob, but I am really struggling to find any useful help on this subject. All of the fixes I'm finding tell me to do things that don't make any sense, like copying files into a drive I have no access to because I cannot actually boot into my system.
So, a seemingly successful installation of El Capitan. Then it restarts automatically, and I get this error seconds before it just reboots. See attached screenshot.
I found this in "big list of solutions" -
If you only get a reboot loop when booting from the system drive (not the USB installer), try copying the USB EFI data to the system drive EFI partition.
Which tells me to:
If you can only boot from USB installer and not the system drive, boot from the USB installer to the desktop

- Mount both EFI partitions. Tools such as EFI Mounter v3 don't always like mounting two EFI partitions at once, so try terminal commands like this:.....
Another fix says to:
- Confirm that you've installed Clover to the system drive and selected Install for UEFI Booting Only and Install Clover in the ESP
- Remove everything inside EFI/CLOVER/ from the system drive, and replace it with everything inside EFI/CLOVER/ from the USB drive
