Now originally when I was trying to attempt this the most obvious way of getting this to work is to go online and log into your iCloud account and then initialize the install. On the iMac or on my PC? Because the problem about the iMac is that it's only allowing me to go into OS X utilities, which the only four options it gives me is restore from The Time machine backup, reinstall osx, get help online, and disk utility.

And I have been using this with Transmac so I'm not certain why exactly it's not working in the way that it's supposed to. Even if I try to boot into it through the start up process it doesn't even show the USB. I've been having to do this on my Windows computer and for the most part up until now I can create a bootable USB but it doesn't actually find the image? If I go into reinstall OS X it states that it's there but then that's where it gets complicated on my part stating that it's not set up proper for GUID or other times it tells me it's not journaled.

I was able to get a iMac 20' (either 08-09 model) and I'm basically just trying to get the operating system installed on it which it says it has El Capitan but it won't proceed any further since I can't gain access to the app store to get what I need. So I'm kind of doing the same thing myself and just hear me out when I say that I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to anything Apple related.
