![]() ![]() No packages were eligible for install." I am now stuck with it asking to restart and it doing the same thing. I managed to get it to start installing the OS but then right at the end it said "OS X could not be installed on your computer. I followed a lifewire guide on doing a clean install using the option key during startup. So, I decided to try wiping the hard drive to make it as new. I had tried everything I could find on the internet to try and solve it but it was driving me mad. I had been having problems for a long time with it logging onto the WiFi (was having to turn the wifi on and off on the macbook every time I loaded a new web page!) I have a MacBook Pro Early 2015 which had OS x El Capitan 10.11.6 on it. Help! Cannot get my Macbook to install OS after wiping hard drive Hello, Sidenote: The Mac has no battery and is running off the mains adaptor as the battery had expanded. I really do hope that someone can help me, as I'm all ran out of ideas and fed up of coming back to the Mac saying 'The MacOS installation could not be completed' and having to restore the disk to escape the recovery loop. Partitioned main drive and copied installer, then booted to partition ('The MacOS installation could not be completed').Started the installer from the disk in finder (El Capitan can't install straight from a disk apparently).Since then, I have brought a El Cap recovery dvd, here's what I've tried with that: OS downloaded, install started, apple logo with bar, 'The MacOS installation could not be completed' This time, I waited for the app store to find the update, and eventually, it did. I proceeded to restore the HDD from the clone SSD and then tried the El Capitan install again. ![]() Luckily, I intended to replace the HDD with a SSD to speed up the ageing computer, so had cloned the stock hard drive to the SSD. Thats where the problem starts.įirst, I went directly to apple and downloaded the 10.11 installer, went through all fine, got to the apple logo with the progress bar with a time amount underneath, and towards the end of the installation, it stopped and displayed the 'The MacOS installation could not be completed' The mac was then stuck in a loop, restarting, installing, failing. I'd like to use this as my main computer until I eventually buy a newer Mac, so i want to install 10.11 El Capitan. I have recently brought a 2009 non-unibody macbook as my starter into the mac world.
