fwz.mhmd Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 It said something about "If you are having trouble entering a password, hold power button and boot in recovery os" along the lines of that. And it doesnt hang or reboot, but the error keeps on going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwz.mhmd Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I dont think so. Could the problem be my usb installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2017 No, it's your installed drive. The USB boot is fine, it sees your drive. If you can, create an installer with this same bootpack and install over your current drive, don't format. Your data and app will be retained. Or partition the drive and install to the second partition. You'll have to find a way to create the full installer, not just the EFI partition to boot your old drive. I have no other idea how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwz.mhmd Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Should I follow this guide for the full installer: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-clover-guide/ Also, Is my system compatible with macOS Sierra since the Mac app store doesn't have El Capitan.

fwz.mhmd Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ok. I was gonna say, in disk utility, the option to partition is greyed out. Edit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2017 Your drive is MBR, not GPT. Do you have windows install on this drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwz.mhmd Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I can use my colleagues one. Shall I format it with default settings or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2017 If you don't need anything off the drive, then yes to reformat to GPT. I'm assuming you're using this for your Installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
