How long does this process take? from say, 'Copying installer files to disk...' every mac is different but if you have an estimated time (im on a relatively new 2013 macbook pro) Just wondering if the install is failing or hanging . . .

Likely several minutes.

Create a bootable OS X El Capitan USB Drive: Making a bootable OS X El Capitan USB Drive is easy and doesn’t take very long at all. There are a number of benefits to creating this type of boot drive, including the fact that it makes it very easy to install a fresh copy of the operating system you have configured on it.

Another benefit is that you will have a very easy time installing an operating system on a completely separate partition or on a virtual machine. By creating a boot disk you will have fast access to a portable installation whenever you need it.

  4. Next you will want to select the install file and in the Applications folder select “Install OS X 10.11” and click “Choose”.
  5. Click “An 8 GB USB thumb drive” and select the flash drive you plugged into your Mac.
