Apple .... Can't even erase a Hard Disk

Hi there,

I'm super annoyed, I'm trying to format my old mac in order to sell it.

First I tried to simply use the Disk Utility Tool in Order to format/delete the current Hard Drive.


1.) That didnt't work => "Could not unmount device"

2.) Ok cool, tried terminal diskutil list , then eraseDisk, sudo diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ disk1s1 disk0 ...


Nothing works =>


Marcels-MacBook-2:~ bla$ sudo diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ disk1s1 disk0


Started erase on disk0


Unmounting disk


Error: -69877: Couldn't open device


Marcels-MacBook-2:~ bla$ 



=>


The entire web is full with this "Error: -69877: Couldn't open device" , nobody has a solution which works properly.
