Hello, I used Diskmaker X to create a bootable Yosemite installer. I placed it on an externa; HD. In the process, it uses the entire partition of the drive. My question is: Can you make a folder and move it to "with so you have access to the rest of the drive or do you need to make an additional partition to create an El Capitan installer Key? I look forward to all suggestions regarding this, as I would like to begin creating installer versions for future reference.
Thanks in advance.
