Could not create a preboot volume for APFS install Hi, I wanted to hard reset my old 2011 MacBook Pro (High Sierra). I searched tutorials online, and they said to 1.Boot into macOS recovery 2.Select disk utility and format drive as APFS 3.Quit disk utility and select reinstall macOS I did that, and it gave me the following error: “Could not create a preboot volume for APFS install”. I tried reinstalling again, and it gave me the same error. What should i do? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Nikola Edit: It has a 320GB Sata HDD
