I accepted a Mid 2012 macbook pro from my dad, which hasn't been used for years (in fact since the year he bought it). So the first thing I did was upgrade the system straight to El Capitan, but then I found the system a bit slow so I am planning to install a new SSD and a new and clean OS for better experience.

How To Boot El Capitan From Usb
So I started preparing all kinds of things, one of which is a USB containing the Install El Capitan app.I did this by downloading El Capitan from appstore and creating a usb media through the following command lines. The USB drive was erased and formatted before operation.
sudo /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/OSX --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app --nointeraction
This should make the USB a install media. So I restarted, pressed option key and saw the original Macintosh HD and the USB, everything was going fine until now. Then I selected the USB and it just stuck at the loading screen like this.
I have been stuck here for hours. In fact I haven't installed the SSD yet. I'm just trying to see if the USB install media worked fine, but obviously it didn't. I know I could use a software to clone my system from HDD to the new SSD, that would be far more simpler, but I really want to install a new OS. Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem is or what should I do next? Thanks a lot.
