thanks for all your help.

I changed sata ports number but it's the same condition...

Respect to installer app, I downloaded from a random site because I couldn't download it from high sierra.

Could you tell how to download a full installer app for el capitan?


Thanks you again,

If you had said that from the beginning, that's where the conversation would have ended!
I can't possibly know what you've downloaded!!! Neither can you!

Apple has unfortunately made it impossible to download any previous installers. Complain to Apple about it from their feedback. Select "macOS" and "Installation/Setup" as the Feedback Area.

You were suppose to create the macOS Recovery USB Flash back when you had that Installer on your machine.
I finally had a reason to use mine when I reloaded my niece's Late-2008 MacBook the other day after SSD upgrade (and it worked).

Start creating them now, and you will have them years from now when you need them.

It's a real disgrace that Apple does NOT make these installers available!
  • Shame! Shame! Shame! [1]
For the love of bytes, you could still get MacOS 7.5 a couple of years ago, more than 25 years after it was originally released! I honestly can't understand why Apple doesn't make the installers publicly available. And I'm not talking about the latest of each major release (10.9.5, 10.10.5, ... 10.13.6). I mean every... single... one... of them!!!
