I have a problem here, I got iMac mid-2011 with fresh HDD. I want to install mac os x el capitan from USB drive, but when I click option button on my keyboard there is no HDD or USB drive shown. only internet recovery and wifi connection. when I try internet recovery to reinstall os x, there is lion os x but when entering my app store data it says " this item is temporarily unavailable " please help. thanks in advance

1It has a "Fresh HDD" - does that mean you have the old HDD with macOS installed or is it completely dead or wiped clean?– AllanMar 4, 2019 at 13:41

It won't appear until you format it with Disk Utility. I'm still not clear as to why Internet Recovery won't work - the question is a little confusing regarding this and how it relates to the App Store. Also, did you verify that the USB is, in fact, bootable?– AllanMar 4, 2019 at 20:52
