Hi, This is already done. Here is the question. Will this work with
forating the internal drive for reinstall. I just used disk makerX for
this. I just wanted to be sure that It work for doing a clean install
for erasing and repartitioning the drive if this makes any sense.

Hello Matthew,
I just use Terminal for this. You need an 8 gb USB drive named
Untitled for this to work.
Connect the USB drive then open Terminal and type in or copy and paste
the following command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\
Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
/Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\
Sierra.app —nointeraction
Press Return and you’ll be asked for your password.
Give it plenty of time to do its thing. You’ll hear:
Erasing Disk: 0%… 10%… 20%…100%… Copying installer files to disk… Copy
complete. Making disk bootable… Copying boot files… Copy complete. Done.
The resulting drive will be called Install macOS Sierra.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi all,
Last night, I downloaded recovery disk assistant from
support.apple.com <http://support.apple.com>, but when I tried to
runn it, It freezes and I just get recovery disk assistant has no
windows and I have to force quit the app. I now I have a bootable
install thanks to disk makerX but would ideally like to have a copy
of the recovery on my usb drive.
Here is my question, Is anyone still using recovery disk assistant to
make a boogiele usb recovery or is disk makerX good enough. I would
like to do a clean install, but want to be sure that what I have will
work before I use it. Also, If I do use the usb installer if lets
say something happens and I had to reinstall, willl it give me a
copy of the latexes version of sear or will I have to get it through
software update? I did listen to mike area’s podcast on upgrading
and he used recovery disk assistant to make a bootable recovery but
on my machine It doesn’t work. Thanks again for everyone’s help in
advance..
Matthew
