no splash on 2016 | no create bootable media when 2015 reinstalled.

Thread needs solution

Running 10.8.5 I decided to upgrade to ATI 2016. Ran it for a week and wanted bootable media. No luck.
then no splash screen. Just a "non responsive" message in the Force Quit window.

Reinstalled 2015. It backs up fine but it will not create bootable media.* Wether the Thumb drive or the Toshiba 1T drive: "Failed to create bootable media by using Apple Software Restore" err comes up. That's interesting because on both devices I had working backup media with ATI 2015..before the upgrade.

suggestions?

*Backup, with out bootable media, is as good as "Write Only Memory"

Hello Wes046.

Could you please write exact steps for me so I could try to reproduce the issue?
e.g. I press recovery drop-down menu in menu bar and choose "Recover" option. Then I press "Create media" button and choose my flash drive as a destination and push "Create Media" button. I get warning that my media needs to be erased and I press "Erase media"...

Have you tried to erase media first using native Disk Utility before creating bootable media?
What do you mean by "splash screen"?

Thank you.
