I don't know about that, Mark. I see both of my High Sierra and
Sierra install sticks. Don't recall not seeing earlier versions of OS X
either in the startup disk window.

Anders,
As I recall, in all previous versions of Mac OS, even if the bootable stick is
prepared correctly, it does not show up in the Startup Disk preferences dialog
box.
The last time I checked, the only way I could see the bootable stick was via
the Option key-press at startup.
I have not yet made a bootable High Sierra stick so cannot confirm this but
such was definitely the case in the previous OS.

Subject: Bootable usb stick is not bootable.
Hi!
I have created a bootable usb stick with Hi sierra as i have to do a clean
install.
The problem is that its not in the startdisk selection when i go to system
prefs and start disk.
I think i have made a mistake by formatting it to Mac os extended journal.
I am not sure if this matters or not.
Is there a way of checking wheather the downloaded installer may be corrupt or
something else may have gone south?
How big should the installer package be when its downloaded.
Mine is 5 gb.
Thanks in advance.
