I take it you mean the "Disk Creator" app. Mikehalloran wrote:I've never used the other methods. I've left this as a last resort of sorts 'cause my connection's slow. I'm hoping this is wrong 'cause that'd mean I "only" need to re-download it. That reminds me, I wonder if I could get you or someone to check the size of the Sierra installer. As I said earlier, it doesn't show up in Sys Prefs' Startup Disk or as an option after booting holding down the Option key. I don't understand how / why this would be seen as a potential startup disk, but I did everything to the letter according to the "Disk Creator" app's instructions and this is how it "looks" in the Finder. This is exactly the same size as the original installer app that I can't get to work.

To be clear, I'm trying to clean-install Sierra the conventional way 'cause using an image won't install a recovery partition if I'm not mistaken. About had it with reading Google-found threads on the matter and getting nowhere. I mean, I've never had to do this before Apple's installers have been fine apart from the El Cap situation where I had to alter the date and time. I've been stuck in this position for a day now - alternating between trying to install via the app and creating a boot-installation disk, the latter being something I'm not sure I should even be bothering with.
