    You are going to have to say more.

     

     

    What OS X are you running?

     

    How is the installed HD/SSD currently formatted?

     

    Are you trying to upgrade this current OSX?

     

    Why is Disk Utility involved in the upgrade?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.

    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. That's what I suggest you use, even if your preferred browser is something else.

    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

    diskutil list | pbcopy

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.

    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.

    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.

    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.

    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
