Why two I appear to have two drives following the Catalina update?
I erased the disc and installed fresh yet this is what appears in disk utility.
Anyone?
Thanks
iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.15
That's normal. The Mac HD - Data volume is where your files and apps are kept and you have access to them just like the older system volumes.
The Macintosh HD volume is where the system and system support files are kept and the user has no access to them. It's part of the new security that Catalina brings to the table.
What version of Catalina are you running? I have Version 10.15 (19A602) and only the -Data volume is shown in the Finder or in the Storage section of About this Mac but both are shown in Disk Utility.
Lawrence that’s great help, I’ll try that. I’ll back up all my data on my external hard drive, which should work then! Cheers mate.
Hey Nuh Night, I managed to complete it in the end if you want me to talk you through it?
I’m having the same problem and did what Nuh Night did. Would really appreciate any help!!!
Please see the comment from me sarteest, is that what I have going on and if so, a ghost file, what do I do???
As I have mentioned above, recovery mode and unmounting/erasing the disk will work. Erase “Mac HD-Data”
Which erases all of the data on your drive. So if you don’t restore the TM backup you will have a Mac with no data on it.
No, it doesn't.............. if you have Mac HD and Mac HD Data even WITH your data still on your hard drive, ONLY DELETE Mac HD Data, and it will keep your data there.
This worked. Thanks.
Thanks
Thanks for that great explanation.
It's stopping me from using time machine! When I try to back up, it says that two volumes have the same name even though one has "- Data" at the end.
I have the same problem.
i don’t understand
Please help I have tried to reset and now I have no Macintosh
Please provide screenshots as we cannot see your computer screen. When you reinstalled, did you first erase the disk?
Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD Data?
