Did you format (erase) the removable medium volume, before you ran the

Try running it as you were instructed.

Your gut is telling you lies. Stop listening to it.

You're attempting to create a bootable install disk.  The installer 
and utilities run under the system on the installer volume, so long as 
the _hardware_ is compatible, ie. suitable for a Yosemite 
installation.  It has nothing to do with the OS version installed on 
any volume from which you have not booted.  SL isn't running, when you 
boot to the installer.

In other words, you ignored all of the sound advice you received and 
blundered ahead following your dyspeptic gut.  Good luck with that.
