Hi May. If this friend is the same person you're talking about that has the Mac that reverts back to the old apple ID the person previously had set up, you may have a problem. In any event, I will tell you how I created a bootable installer of OS X using a flash drive. First, I googled an app called Disk Maker X and installed it on my Mac. When I launched it though, it wasn't really accessible, and I don't know if that has changed. If so, once you've downloaded the version of OS X you want, don't install it, just launch disk maker X and make the bootable drive. Note that it has to be at least an 8 GB drive and has to be formatted.
