  1. I love your voice.
  2. Thank you very much, your video helped me to reinstall El Capitan on a new SSD in my old macbook.
  3. Thanks! Wish I'd done this before installing El Capitan--I had a number of glitches with it and did a reinstall later.
  4. Thankyou for your video. It is very well explained, worked like a charm
  5. You're the best!
  6. YOU are a life-saver! SOOO EASY. I'm surprised this video has not hit 1,000,000 hits?!

    This created a full usb installation disc for me w/ El Capitan w/o all the "Terminal" stuff! It just wouldn't work for me. And at first I was leery to try this being ALL THE WORK is done for you in an 1-step process; however, after seeing it SAVED on the usb and testing it, my mac responded to it as it I were going to install it from the usb.

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
  7. Thank you so much Elaine! Your tutorial was the easiest way to make a boot drive. I could never get the terminal command to work.
