I did everything and it worked!! But when its being installed it keeps restarting by itself! I tried it multiple times but same issue, keeps restarting…. Any tips?
I was about to give up on life until I found this video. GOD BLESS YOU. This tutorial helped me recover my iMac, I was struggling to find the disk. You have a new subscriber!
YESSS!!! You are the BOSS! No other videos/posts go into this detail! I was stuck for days with no solution! How do people not run into this issue all the time?!?! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
OH. MY. GOD!!! After spending the whole of yesterday and today looking for solutions to my problem, you finally helped me fix this issue without spending a dime on repairs!!! Thanks a lot bro!!! God bless youuuu!!!
I have a question: Yesterday, My Mac was fine and shut it down. Now, I turned on my Mac and it says “Your computer restarted because of a problem”, i press a key then it restarted and it goes back to that message. I pressed Cmd + R. And I clicked Disk Utility and “Macintosh HD” is not there. The only thing that is there is the 251 GB APPLE SSD SM02… and disk0s2 (which is greyed out). I don’t know what happened but I can’t use my Mac because of this problem. How to bring back the Macintosh HD?
Meu caro, fiz este procedimento, o SDD é de 128GB, em Disk0 esta o MAC OS Base System... de 3.2GB.... não achei outro volume em torno de 100 GB, nem mesmo 1GB..... será que deu problema no disco?
sometimes the APFS format can not be shown on recovery mode . this solves the problem and you can see all format options as well. Terminal works usually, thanks.
Thank you for this video. You are life saver. Have been wanting to erase HDD but never succeed. The erase button in disk ultility recovery mode has always been grreyed out. Now I can finally install from a new clean drive. Thank you.
I dont want to erase my internal disk though as it has all my data on it. Im trying to back up a mirrored copy of it to an external but it refuses to show up in disk utility.
I’m trying to do the same exact thing. Same issue. My internal hard drive is not showing up so I can’t back up my data to external hd but if I do as instructed in this video (I can’t bc I don’t want to erase my internal hd). Did you find a solution to our similar problem (but without erasing the internal hd)?
@@lennyj4931 I think the problem for me was, my laptop does not run on SATA controller. I think it's NVME. So, maybe the only option left is trying on a external hard drive.
My dear brother. I did all of these things you showed, but I still couldn't see my 256 gb disk. HDD was previously visible in Disk Utility but now is Not visible. Please help me what can i do ?

In Disk utility, i canot see SSD internal only OS X Base system is visible, I have tried through terminal using diskutil list but still SSD doesn't appear. Please help me. i m using MacBook (Retina, 12 inch, 2017)
For me it was differently: when I placed an SSD instead of DVD drive, the Disk Utility did not show the new disk. After rebooting the machine the MacOS (El Capitan) detected the SSD and asked what to with it. I told to initialize it, and it became visible in Disk Utility.
Hey bro, I tried this but it didn’t let me. It says “ The volume on disk0 couldn’t be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel)” what can I do? I need help bro I would appreciate it so much if you are able to help me!🙏🏼
