go back to DU and see if perhaps you may need to reformat, even though pretty sure Robert sent you formatted.
If that don't work, hate to say it, may have to at least disconnect the spinner.
Why isn't it booting into the OS on the thumb drive? I thought If Disk Utility sees the new drive I could boot from the thumb drive and install it on the new SSD.....or am I missing a step?
I don't think there is a full OS on the thumb drive. I think it's only an installer (and recovery options). And it appears that you are booted from the thumb drive. That VendorCo is the thumb drive.
OMG! I got to disk utility and reformatted the new SSD and rebooted and the new SSD showed up as an availble ddrive to install the oS and is installing as we speak!!!!
