HP Pav 23-q105na AiO: perform a clean install on new machine

Hello

I would like to do a clean install on a new machine of all-in-one HP I have and would like to know about activation of a couple things.

The machine comes through OEM Activation 3.0 (OA3) or by Product Activation Windows (WPA). The reason why I would like to know this, is that once the own installation took place, automatically Windows know that the machine has a license valid Windows 10 and will be so it turned on once he gets online?

Please note that when I got the machine, I let it install the version of Windows 10 comes with the machine, and made sure it has been activated. (recorded with the MS servers)

I will also be wiping the part of the resumption of training as well during this process.

Kind regards

Richard

Hi TheOldMan,

I have now completed the clean install on the machine and it activated fine. I had media via Windows Media creation tool.

He activated properly, so now just re - installs all the necessary drivers / programs again. I have another machine I boaught at the same time, so now do the same for this one. I used ShowKeyPlus to check and verify my key before starting.

Thanks for the reply but.

  • I'll be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 (Vista Upgrade Option)?

    I was wondering if I would be able to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 with "upgrade drive" we are is sent when Windows 7 is released October 22, 2009. I had read that we will be able to upgrade the sense we will keep all our old stuff, however I just want to perform a clean install without all the garbage that comes preloaded on the computer when you buy it.

    Yes, you will be able to clean install with upgrade disc. Generally, everything you had will go into a folder named windows.old, if you have backed up everything you can delete this folder but if not only get what you need, then delete. This issue will take place. The folder contains all the files you had, the programs, but you can not open them or he'll tell program not found and the files of vista or xp. I hope this helps. Just at the moment where you see the menu level or custom installation, click Custom install and who should be the ability to clean the facility.                  OS: Windows 7 Professional.

  • XPS 420 - HARD drive failed, performing a clean install of Vista on the new HARD drive.

    Hey everybody,

    My on my XPS 420 HARD drive failed and I'm trying to reinstall Vista using the disc that came with my machine back when I bought it.

    I bought a new WD10EZEXAZ (1 TB Serial ATA HDD), he rose in the same dwelling as my old HDD (ST3750630AS * Barracuda 7200.11*). I start the PC and goto Setup, it recognizes the HARD drive in the blue menu.

    Then I boot with the CD of Vista that came with my system. I proceed as indicated through the following url:

    Clean install of Vista

    After its copied files, expanded the files, installed features, updates installed... it goes to "Complete Installation" and throws an error message: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    I tried a few things I've seen posted on the internet, including trying to run msoobe.exe via command line. When I did, it allows me to Setup user... but finally I get sent to this message of error or another telling me I have to reinstall Windows.

    I read else where some hard disks may not compatible with the Dell disk provides with my OEM machine. If this is the case, can someone advise? I really didn't want to spend $100 one another on a Windows 7 disc, but I feel like this may be my only option... but even in this case, I'm not so sure this will work or the other.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Tony

    UPDATE *.
    Did some more research, I discovered my new drive HARD is an advanced HDD format... not sure if it has nothing to do with my problems (by www.wdc.com/advformat Vista should not need to perform the work before the OS being installed), but thought I would mention it.

    Thanks again for any help.

    ****************

    Seems that I found the solution to my problem.

    Problem has been fixed by going into the BIOS and change the Mode of Port SATA to IDE/native/AHCI native. After that, the installation worked without any problems. Seems that Windows Setup did not like the port mode is set to RAID.

    Just thought I would post back everybody incase has had the same problem.

  • How to maintain (older versions of) applications when you perform a clean install of the latestOSX

    I have a 2012 MacBookPro 15 inch - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM and OSX 10.11.1 El Capitan installed.

    I had a problem with an iTunes never return of Spinning Beach Ball of Death and hikes and videos that don't play more fluently.

    This situation makes the MBP practically unusable.

    I did the verification of the material and that you now know that the problem is not hardware based.

    I've made available more extra space on my HARD drive.

    I checked the activity with the Activitymonitor again and again and noticed nothing special.

    So to fix this I realized that I have to do a clean install of El Capitan.

    This could help my MBP to get rid of all the clutter that might be in the way of gentle and fast work.

    The point is that I am a happy user of 4.3 Pages and numbers 2.3 and I read a lot of feedback from users who are absolutely not happy with the latest versions of iWork Pages especially 13.

    That's why I certainly do not want iWork ' 09 to upgrade to the current version (iWork 13).

    My question is...

    How can I do a clean install of El Capitan and always stay with iWork ' 09 (and all its preferences and settings) without upgrade against my will to the latest version?

    Does anyone know how to do this the right way?

    Thanks in advance for help out me!

  • Someone at - he heard talking about Windows 7 clean install on new discs, taking 63 GB of disk space?

    It must be something simple, once figure you it out!  Have had 2 calls assisted support 2 days for a few minutes each.  Guy does not seem to have a clue.

    anyway... short as possible...  I built a new computer game. 3 hard drives SSD crucial m4, 1 x 128 GB, 2 x 256GB and 2 TB WD SATA III for storage.

    You want to put Windows and Office, Antivirus etc. on the 128GB SSD... all games and programs on the two 256 GB SSD drives.  Requirements, I see it everywhere, including on the box... 20 GB for 64 - Bit.

    I did a clean install Windows 7 home 3 times and then switch to Win7 Pro using a card key to upgrade time everything.  Fact a facility with everything configured as it was planned.  Made an installation with only the 128GB drive connected.  The two ways... Windows supports 63 GB of space when you go to 'My computer' and watch the free space.  STILL... If you go on the Windows disc and open and select all folders, files etc... including the hidden files/folders... you get a total of about 25 GB disk!  Exactly as you might expect.

    Contacted Microsoft through chat... support person called... He repeated that everything I said I already tried and I even gave the data, figures and results, etc. no help.  Then he had me download an iso file and burn a bootable DVD with Windows 7 Pro on this subject.

    Tried and same results.  SO now, I installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on 2 different Crucial Solid State Drives and a Western Digital 1 TB SATA drive.

    Each installation takes 63 GB of disk space in 'My Computer'.

    Each installation... When you navigate to the drive and open and select all the files and click right properties... get you about 25 GB of space occupied by the files.

    Run a CHKDSK scan and it will show also the 63 GB or more space used.

    Have already removed all the shadow copies, deleted all temporary files, ran CCleaner and got rid of everything. Delete the backups or restore points.  Makes no difference.

    I have install Windows and in 'My Computer', it shows that 63 GB is used.  And it is above all of the windows updated hundred occur after installtion.  Nothing else was installed.

    Any ideas?  I can put Windows on a 128 GB SSD, which only shows GB total 119 in 'My Computer' in the first instance.  After all the windows updates and virus and MS Office program, it would be complete and have no space to work.

    The point is... Windows should only be taking up about 25 GB... May 30 when it is updated and corrected.

    Finally I thought of her.

    When windows is installed into hibernation is enabled... No matter what you see in equipment/control panel and power sound/Options/change Plan / change advanced power settings.  Hibernation settings and parameters of sleep can show as disabled in the advanced but you will ALWAYS have a file called "Hiberfil" at the root of the C drive and it will be or has been on my system... 24 GB in size.

    You will have to view all the files/folders to view this file.

    24 GB windows put side also used space for modes of hibernation / sleep.  24GO of Wasted space!

    I have also 32 GB of system memory.  When you install windows by default... it sets the page file/Virtual memory size in the same amount of memory you have installed.  In my case a little more than 32 GB was my page file size.

    IF you have windows which takes about 12 GB installation, 1 without updates.

    For more, 24GO Hibernation and 32 GB of page file.

    So, when you look at 'My Computer' after a clean and no installation update again... Windows takes 12 + 24 + 32 GB = 69 GB... 69GB for a windows installation!  And the hard drive is only considered GB 119.  Once you do all the 'windows updates' installation will be more several GB.

    So my 119GB SSD drive will be 75% or more complete just after installing windows.

    SOLUTION: To get rid from where to disable Hibernation and recover 24 GB of disk space... go to start > programs > Accessories and right click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".

    This executes the function of the command mode prompt "high command prompt".

    Your command prompt window should read as C:\Windows\System32 in mode "high".

    If your window to prompt similar to C:\Users\Tony bed... then you are not in high mode.

    Type the following in the command prompt window to disable the hibernation: powercfg-h off and press ENTER.

    There is a space after the 'g' powercfg and also a space between the '-h' and the word 'off '.

    The "Hiberfil" file in your root of C will have now disappeared and wah - Los Angeles... you 24GO more free space on your drive currently.

    "#2 SOLUTION: right-click on"My computer"and select properties.  In the window that opens on the left column, click on "Advanced System Settings".  The window that opens will be the "Advanced" tab  Click settings in the performance section of this tab. In the window that opens this time again click the "Advanced" tab  Down under "Virtual memory" click on the "Edit" button to change your virtual memory settings.

    In my case, I stopped windows manage the virtual memory and changed the setting from the window of 32 GB virtual memory size, because I have 32 GB of installed system memory... I reduced my virtual memory to 8 GB which is always a huge!

    But in doing so, I got another 24 GB of disc space given my size virtual memory 8 GB value.

    So now, once you do both of these actions, you can go into 'My computer' and you see that now only have on (my) 20 GB of space is used instead of the original GB 68 to 69 of the space used.

    So now I have just to 98 GB of free space on a disk Go 119... with the installation of windows occupying about 20 to 25 GB of space that you want to see normally.

    Before... I had about 45 GB of free space (after update).

    Auto power OFF after put into hibernation and make sure that you do not have an ungodly amount of virtual memory reserved for the use of windows!

  • Clean install on new SSD?

    Hey people,

    New on the Apple Forum, hope it's ok to post this question here and in the forum of the iMac. My question:

    I recently acquired an older iMac Early 2008 (8.1). Currently it has 1 GB of RAM and a HARD drive that is extremely crowded. I just bought a 2x2gb memory kit for it, and decided that I had, I will do a clean full of Snow Leopard and then level installation to El Cap. So I bought a Samsung EVO SSD faithful and a SSD IcyDock Mount for it. I also bought a DVD of Snow Leopard from Apple, since I couldn't find the original. All that from the road, here's my question:

    I want to do an installation clean full of Mac OS X on the SSD, no cloning, no record of the files, nothing. The old HARD drive, as mentioned, is packed with the previous unwanted users. I read through loads of tutorials and whatnot on the web and can not find a concise answer to how to proceed. Some say it just install the SSD drive, format it with disk utility, and then start the DVD (not literally). Some say, create a USB bootable upgrade downloaded OS X .dmg file. And so on.

    Can someone tell me, as a former PC user, new iMac user, what to do in this situation?

    Question side: is it possible to go directly to El Cap instead of go through Snow Leopard to get there?

    What I have:

    -New Snow Leopard DVD

    -new SSD

    -old HDD (installed)

    -many readers of an inch, if necessary

    Thanks in advance!

    Make a USB of El Capitan key would be the easiest way to address the issue.

    First, install this RAM upgrade on the iMac, as you will need speed. Once you have done this, start the computer normally, open the app store and download OS X El Capitan from the Appstore, so you can do a flash USB drive out of it.

    Once El Capitan finished download, download DiskMakerX here

    http://diskmakerx.com

    This program will automatically create an El Capitan bootable flash drive that you use to install El Capitan on the computer.

    After the program ends and creates your USB key, turn off the computer, remove the old HDD and throw in the SSD you bought.

    Now that you've done all this, plug the flash drive into the Mac and hold down the ALT key and select the flash drive to boot from the flash drive and install OS X El Capitan on your mac.

    Once he finishes the installation, you're done! You will then be presented the OS X install screen and you're ready to start using your computer!

    I hope this helps! Answer please if you have any other questions.

  • clean install on new hard drive

    My hard drive crashed on my Hp laptop.  I installed a new hard drive and want to install my os vista on the computer.  I did the recovery disks when I bought the computer and told me that I could reinstall the operating system on the new hard drive.  My problem is that I keep getting error codes 1005 and 100a.  It stops the installation.  I then told me that I have to buy own recovery disks.  Can someone make me scroll through the process of getting the OS on my computer.  Can I use the recovery disk that I did or do I need to buy new, or I need to find a single version of full vista...

  • Huge performance impact after installing a new 760 GTX graphics card

    With my motherboard Foxconn Renaissance x 56, I get a variety of RAM that is usable, but not wire after installing my new GTX 760.

    When I run the Windows system it stutters and takes up to 15 minutes to start, there is a problem with some of the RAM not being usable and just sitting there while Windows doesn't know what to do with it.

    However, when I run in Ubuntu, even without a graphics driver, the speed is incredibly fast.

    The solution only hacky, I could find is to truncate the memory by the top of the first address, in my case, it is exactly 6 GB (0 x 26666666) using "bcdedit/set memory truncated 0 x 26666666", and it works well. But I'm unable to benefit from the additional RAM on the graphics card.

    It's frustrating because my motherboard supports up to 24 GB of RAM, and the problem exists only in Windows and not Linux.

    If anyone is interested in this problem, there is a fix. A representative of Foxconn sent Ms. some secret BIOS that is not available on the site.

  • I'd be able to do a clean install of El Capitan * without * destroy my Windows partition?

    I bought this media 2011 27 "iMac used earlier this year as a refurb from a dealer. It came with El Capitan installed, but I have the feeling that they had a facility upgrade compared to a clean install. The computer suffers from slow start and loading slow program (but once it loads then its fine). It's the same with my old iMac when I did an upgrade to Leopard years ago snow leopard, and erase the disk and performing a clean install OSX (and put files and programs back with Time Machine) has solved these problems then. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to try a clean install on this machine.

    But read the tutorials I noticed that if you are not the first owner of the computer, then you cannot install updates OSX without resetting the computer? Although I WAS able to install the OS via the App Store updates (and I thought that I linked my Apple ID to the machine when I put initially in place), won't install not mean I should be able to clean, or it will have to be completely reset?

    Yes, I've run disk utility and checked my HHD drive, it works fine. The entire machine is nice and quiet, not making abnormal sounds or perform exceptionally, it's just really the slow start in OSX and slow loading programs that are the problem.

    I also recently created a Windows partition and installed Windows 8.1. It starts and runs decently faster than OSX, so I think it's just a problem with OSX and not the HHD himself and do a clean install will be hopefully solve problems. This computer has given me a lot of grief, creating a partition to install Windows 8.1 (unlike my old iMac) so wouldn't really really really have to wipe the HHD together to "change the property" and having to mess with which once again...

    It 'sounds' like since the app store IS letting me install OS and updates to program with my Apple, I SHOULD be able to start in the RecoveryHD Partition and ID here to make a new install of Mac OS x on * just * my existing Mac partition. And this should not erase my * any * HHD, just the Mac partition. I'll save my whole Windows partition just to be safe, however. I could not find a guide which deals specifically with only reset the OSX partition and not wipe out Windows in the process, so I want to make sure I have my facts straight. I had planned on OSX reset and then restore my files with Time Machine. However, I also want to assure you that this will allow me to go even and reset the OS in the first place, given that I am not the original owner of the iMac and I don't know if they reset it correctly.

    Sorry for the extremely long question and TIA!

    Open the Mac App Store, make sure that you are signed in with your Apple ID and click on the purchase tab to see if El Capitan is associated with your Apple ID. If this isn't the case, you will need to download it so it will be associated with your Apple ID. If this is the case, you are all ready.

    Are updates to OS X, not the buyer, so you can install all the updates, but the OS needs to be associated with your Apple ID.

    I'm not sure about Windows, how did you install Windows? With Boot Camp? You should be able to clone on another drive (if you have one) using Clonezilla. Then wipe and reinstall El Capitan and put in place the Boot Camp partition and clone back.

  • Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions

    Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.

    On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?

    I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.

    The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

  • El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

    Hello

    El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

    I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

  • Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10

    Hello

    I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Hello Zarakkhan ;

    I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

    As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

    That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

    As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

    Hello.

    1. you can use the recovery disks you did to reinstall Vista. It's what they are for.

    To reinstall Vista using recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    2 as you do a new installation the hard disk will be wiped clean of the everyting: files, MSE, everything.

    Therefore, there is not need to disable the MSE.

    3. the recovery disks must select the disc / Partition and install Vista updates.

    If not. Select the c: / partition.

    Here's how we do it.

    • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
    • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
    • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
    • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
    • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
    • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
    • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
    • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
    • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
    • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
    • Cs diskutil list.
    • You will see something similar to the screen below.
    • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
    • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
    • For example:
    • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
    • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
    • diskutil cs remove UUID
    • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
    • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
    • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
    • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
    • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
    • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
    • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
    • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
    • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
    • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
    • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
    • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
    • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
    • D. recreate the fusion drive
    • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3
    . on the screen of the terminal type:
  • diskutil list.
  • You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
  • 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
  • 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
  • 7
  • . Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
  • The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
  • For example:
  • diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
  • diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
    cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
    create - creates a basic storage group.
    nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
  • appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

  • driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
  • It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
  • 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
  • Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
  • Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
  • Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
  • Waiting for logical volume group appear
  • Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
  • Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
  • Finished CoreStorage operation
  • 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
  • 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
  • In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
  • For example:
  • Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
  • diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
  • cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
  • createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
  • groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
  • jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
  • VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
  • size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
  • 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
  • 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
  • 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
  • 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.
  • X. how Prime to recover partition
  • Press and hold the command and button R set immediately after hearing the bells to boot.
  • Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and the progress bar for the start. This will start the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • Y. how-to boot OSX install USB
  • Press and hold the command and the optionkey together immediately after hearing the ringing of boot.
  • Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and it will give you a list of startup disk choice, choose the OSX install USB to boot from.
