Bootable

Created a bootable USB with El Capitan installer

MacOS Sierra; OS X El Capitan; Create bootable USB drive with Mac Disk Utility. Now that you have the installation files ready on your Mac, you can move them to your USB drive for future use. To install macOS on an external hard drive: 1. Connect the USB to your MacBook. Open Disk Utility by following Applications → Utilities → Disk. Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing. Turn on your Mac and continue to hold the power button until you see the startup options window, which shows your bootable volumes. Select the volume containing the bootable installer, then click Continue.

booted from it, erased my MBP (mid 2009), clean install from USB installer

decided to use migration assistant, most apps not working plus all the clutter from pre clean install

tried to get Maverick back and basically ended up with a non-working MBP that went into a boot loop

did a reinstall from MAS, ended up DLing the entire Installer again, went to bed and in the morning and 'working'

MBP again, plus all the clutter and non working apps.

Made a new bootable USB key using terminal and yes it finished and yes it said bootable at the end as well as in Disk Utilities.

However when trying to boot from USB, start+Option, or start+cmd+r still no sign of the USB stick, which i guess would leave me

with a non clean install again.

Any help, suggestions.....?
