How to Create Mac OS X Bootable USB Pen Drive with Windows 10 / 7. This tutorial is for Mac OS X El Capitan, yosemite, etc. That is based on Mac OS X versions and successfully working on Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10.
Why a flash drive? A bootable external or internal hard drive works well for desktop Macs but presents a cumbersome problem for notebook Macs. A flash drive is a simple, inexpensive, and portable emergency boot device that can handle OS X or the macOS. Heck, it can even have both operating systems installed, letting you use the emergency USB flash drive to boot any of the Mac's you may have. Even if you don’t use a notebook, you may want to have a bootable USB flash drive on hand. What You Will Need. Insert the USB flash drive into your Mac’s USB port.

Select GUID Partition Table from the list of available partition schemes. Click the Apply button. A sheet will drop down, warning you that you are about to erase all data from the disk.
Click Partition. Disk Utility will format and partition your flash drive. Quit Disk Utility. Before you begin the installation, a few notes about the process. As we mentioned earlier, USB flash drives are much slower at writing data. Since the installation process is all about writing data to the USB flash drive, it’s going to take quite some time. When we performed the installation, it took about two hours.
So be patient, and don’t worry about how slow some of the processes seem; this is normal. You can expect to see plenty of beach balls and slow responses as you work your way through the installation process.
