MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7) Posted on Jul 24, 2011 12:43 PM I have this question too by austingaijin,Solvedanswer austingaijin Level 1 (15 points) A: Here's the crucial bit. I got myself into this boat. After wiping my entire drive, I wondered "HOW can it possibly be finding any remnants of Lion?" The answer is PRAM. You need to reset your PRAM.Follow this article:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379After doing this, and restarting, I got a different error and a window displaying a log containing details of the failed installation. It doesn't matter. Just select a new startup disk, or do the "hold the Option key during boot" trick to select your USB install image, and when you restart, you'll get the normal "clean installer" options.Brett Posted on Jul 24, 2011 6:13 PM See the answer in c

created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more." The installer log shows the message, "Recovery system creation failed with error -69713 (The booter/recovery partition must be grown by a larger amount)." You may be presented with an option to select https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3207417?tstart=0 which disk is the target for installation. In some situations, the disk you want to upgrade may be labelled "This disk cannot be used to start up your computer." If possible, back up and reformat the target disk before installing. If you aren't able to back up and reformat, try the following steps to resize the partition where you want to install OS X: Restart your Mac from your usual startup disk. Open Disk Utility, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203482 located in /Applications/Utilities/ . Select the disk where the volume you intend to upgrade resides. This usually starts with a number representing the total size of the disk. Click the Partition tab. Click and drag the resize corner of your intended install partition to make the size slightly smaller. The blue portion represents used data space. The partition only needs to be approximately 128MB smaller than it was before resizing but it needs to be larger than the blue portion. Example Before: After: Click Apply. When the partition resizing is complete, quit Disk Utility and install OSX. After the OS X installation is complete, you can use Disk Utility to resize the partition back to its original size by dragging the resize corner to make the partition as large as it was before.

It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading" message, or a more vague "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running again" error message. Sometimes these can be resolved by simply rebooting and trying to reinstall OS X again (or re-downloading the OS X installer if it was damaged), os x but if the error messages are persistent, then you may find that modifying the system date of the Mac can be the resolution. It's possible to encounter these errors during basically any type of installation attempt in OS X El Capitan or OS X Yosemite, ranging from the standard App Store update, using Internet Recovery, to clean installs, and using a bootable installer volume on a target Mac. If you run into either not be installed error message while trying to update or install OS X while from an active OS X boot (say, a standard upgrade from the App Store), you can typically resolve the problem simply by setting the Date & Time on the Mac to be determined automatically. To do this, go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Date & Time, and be sure the "Set date and time automatically" option is checked: That method requires the Mac to have active internet access, however. If you're on a computer without internet access, or if you encounter the problem during an alternative OS X installation method and thus can't access System Preferences, turning to the Terminal to set the date is the next option. To determine if the Terminal date trick can fix those error messages and help you to successfully install OS X, you'll need to turn to the command line while at the "Install OS X" boot menu. Pull down the "Utilities" menu option and choose "Terminal", then type the following command into the prompt: date Hit return, and if the reported date is anything other than the actual current date, then you've almost certainly found the cause of the problem.
