can I format and install el capitan on a cover attached to the eternal road
My MACBOOK pro is having hard drive problems. It is partitioned to run el capitan and windows 7. the partition main mac only get 75 to 80% through the start-up procedure and then hang up.
I tried to run disk security recovery volume. zap the PRAM, tried to secure boot and FSCK nothing helps.
I ordered a new SSD drive and need to get el capitan on the new drive.
can I format and install el capitan on the new drive if it is attached to the macbook with a hard drive by using the 10.11.1 housing recovery tools before starting the installation in my macbook.
Another option is to see if the local genius bar formats an installer usb for me.
thoughts?
Thank you
Yes, you should be able to select a destination drive during installation. Is that what you mean?

I click on the Photo icon, but it does not open. I recently downloaded and installed El Capitan 10.11.5, and I wonder if it is slow things down. My iMac has 2 GB of memory and 124,75 GB of free space. Picture worked fine, then I wonder what is happening. Can anyone help?
Yes, it's probably slow things down a GB of s2 on memory is the absolute minimum - you need to update your memory which is cheap and easy - a reasonable and a reliable source is Other World Computing- there are others including Apple

Issues related to the:
- How do I FORMAT and INSTALL Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini or m, I was too impatient after the [Ctrl] restart using the OS X DVD?
- Is there an external utility that I should get to format the drive?

Input greatly appreciated!

usually it is booting by pressing the C key to start from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.
or start by pressing the Option key to get a list of the bootable devices that you can choose from.
See <Startup for Mac - Apple Support combinations>
NOTE: This does not imply that you run your Mac mini Snow Leopard. I guess that your wording she used to run Snow Leopard, and that your Mac mini still has a DVD/CD player are good signs.

MBP re-formatted and installed Mountain Lion!
Hi all, I've successfully migrated my old MBP of 4 year in a new "slimline" MBP
I am now preparing my old MBP to transmit to my older daughter, I have re-formatted and restarted with command-R, am now downloading and installation of Mountain Lion.
My question is the following:-what should I do then, to be able to get El-Capitan installed, which after all is the version of Mac OS X had it before as I have re-formatted. ????
Tim
You say to download and install El Capitan by his Apple ID. With the exception of needing to be connected with another Apple ID, the process is the same as that used for update to the original.

Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.
