Dear Friends,

Mac Os 10.11 Install

I am unable to install OS X El Capitan on my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. I downloaded the OS X El Capitan from App Store and when I follow the installation instructions, I get this error 'This disk cannot be used to start up your computer'.

I referenced the details mentioned here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203482 (Installer reports 'OS X could not be installed on your computer' or 'This disk cannot be used to start up your computer'), and the problem I am having is that I don't have a Partition on my hard disk. Unfortunately, I do not have a 'startup disk' either and thus I am not sure how to go about installing OS X El Capitan at this time. The instructions says 'If possible, back up and reformat the target disk before installing'.

If you can boot normally, delete the' Install OS X El Capitan.app' in you applications folder. Re-download a new install and try again. If possible, back up and reformat the target disk before installing. Plug the USB drive into the Mac PC with the Installer of the El Capitan on it. Rename the USB driver using an easy to remember and use name. (For the ease of the steps ahead, I will rename it as ‘ElCaptIns’) Be sure that the Installer of the El Capitan named ‘Install OS X El Capitan.app’ is in its default location (Applications folder. Question: Q: Cannot reinstall OS X El Capitan: PLEASE help!! Hi, I am due to hand over my Imac (2012) tomorrow. I thus did a full erase of all the data (only backing up the files I needed). The computer now boots up into the Utility Disk, prompting me to reinstall OS X.

I do have External Hard disk that I can use to create a backup using Time Machine, but I don't know what to do after that. Should I also copy the OS X El Capitan installation file that currently exists on my Mac Internal Hard Drive on the External Hard Disk? What should I do after I create backup on external hard drive? I have lot of data and software on my Mac and don't want to lose them all in the process of formatting the internal hard drive.
