Hi everyone,

I followed this guide (http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g...nstaller-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/page-1) to create a bootable USB El capitan installer with Clover. But now I have a problem, I manage to install clover in the "Efi clover" partition (I used MBR method), but when I try the second part of the guide and try to build the OS X installer, the "createinstallmedia method" doesn't work, and the other one (BaseBinaries clone method) gets stuck at "# copy Packages as folder cp -a /tmp/install_esd/Packages /Volumes/install_osx/System/Installation".
I tried to boot from the USB the same, and it seems all ok, it boots smoothly, but after I choose the main language that I want to use for the installation it says that there is no installer or something like that and I have to reboot the laptop... Can anyone help me please??

P.S. I'm sorry if I made some English mistake...

From where did you download OS X?
On what hardware are you creating your USB installer?

if it won't create the install disk, then try another usb stick
 
I downloaded Os X from Mac app store.

o you mean my laptop specs or my USB?
 
Show the error you're getting from createinstallmedia.
That's unbelievable, now that I retried for the fourth time it seems to work properly!
I'm waiting for it to finish, I'll let you know..
 
Yes, it worked properly. I hope I'll manage to complete the installation without any problems. Thank you a lot!!
