I have also reset the the NV-ram as well (or I think I have done it, by unplugging, removign the ram, command+option+p+r and three beeps etc.Note: Your Finder will be restarted and it will be show the hidden files in your Mac. I see Mac Osx Base System and Install ESD and a alot of other disks.Įven though I plugged in my hard disk to a win 7 pro and did diskpart and cleaned all the EFI partitions on my physical hard disk, I still see a lot of other disks/volumes in the list. disk 0 is my physical Sata HD drive, disk 1 is my bootable flash drive with el capitan and the rest is just what I don't understand and want.


It gives me a list of all disks and volumes available in the system. Then I start Terminal and run Diskutil list command. To see the hidden files in the OS X Install ESD image, open up a Terminal and input the following two commands (hit Enter after each one). First, we need to unhide the files located in this newly mounted OS X Install ESD image. When I start up the machine with Option key pressed in, USB drive pops up and I start the installation with El Capitan from USB drive. Now, dont do anything with this Packages folder just yet. I have a i5, 27inch, 4 gb, 500 gb sata, 2009 late iMac and I have a 8 gb El capitan bootable flash drive plugged in one of the USB ports in the back.
