Hi,

I have just had the exact same error trying to make the USB drive on a new iMAC.

I went ahead and reinstalled the OS from the Recovery menu and was then able to create the USB drive.

Maybe some needed files were missing from the original install?

In my case the recovery didn't wipe the drive and then do a clean install but only replaced/repaired existing files. So all existing apps/data was still there after the reinstall.

Im new to Mac's so don't know if this is normal practice for a recovery reinstall or whether luck was on my side.

I didn't have much software installed so in my case I wasn't too bothered if it had wiped my drive.
