MBR to GPT conversion with Paragon Hard Disk Manager I spent some time trying to get it done but the HDM software always asked to restart the computer to finish the installation and that's the "Some components could not be installed" loop I got into. Is that macOS problem or what? I thought correct Security & Privacy settings should give the installer all access but nope. Is this seemingly impossible task even possible with a Mac? With a PC MBR to GPT took about a minute for my neighbor's 12 years old son. Now I have a real 3TB HD instead of 800GB after the partition scheme was removed.

Format m1 disk totally I tested Asahi Linux on my M1 Mini. Now I want to go back to macOS but that doesn't work. The Mac partition is 60GB in size (to small to instal macOS) and 940GB of empty space that I can no longer approach. How can I format the disk in such a way so that I can install macOS again. Anyone an idea how I can do that? Sincerely WebHeer

Cannot select an install device for Mac OS Monterey there is some previous discussion about adding a volume under Apple SSD using Disk Utilities, but that instruction relies upon being able to select an “Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Format”. That’s not a format option available to me. I only have APFS formats available. Any help for this?

If you are using Disk Utility in High Sierra, it provides the completely useless Volume-View by default.

You need to change to Device-View, where you can see the drives by Hardware-name, and it will work fine after that.
