![]() The partition has definitely decreased in size, but I want it gone entirely: $ gpt -r show /dev/disk0 Update 1, This is the state of /dev/disk0 after a failed attempt to remove the disk0s4 partition. However attempting to remove the disk0s4 or disk0s5 partitions results in: Could not unmount partition to be deleted.įrom the terminal, running diskutil list, I get: /dev/disk0ģ: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3ĥ: 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111 92.1 GB disk0s5Ġ: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD *149.1 GB disk1Įssentially how do I go about reclaiming the space from those two partitions (the swap and my linux partition) without damaging anything Mac related?Īnd additionally, I think, but I'm not sure if the EFI partition was something to do with the Linux bootloader - do I need it (I've already reset the boot device to Mac). If it happens while you were trying to do an upgrade, you might need to do these steps inside a virtual machine or a working hackintosh.I setup dual boot on my Mac (with Ubuntu) and want to get rid of it. You should probably not directly upgrade from El Capitan to avoid this problem. You might of course not need to create two partitions in this case. This should also work for Chameleon bootloader. Reboot from the USB drive and everything should go smooth and without this error.Install Clover to the first partition of your USB drive named CLOVER (unless named otherwise).You need to typically copy the following files: AppleDiagnostics.chunklist, AppleDiagnostics.dmg, BaseSystem.chunklist, BaseSystem.dmg The same way, copy the other files from OS X Install ESD drive to the root of your USB (the root, not inside a folder on the USB drive).Copy " Packages" folder from there and paste it in your USB/System/Installation. That's actually an allias (or a shortcut if you want). Inside the USB drive, go to " System" then " Installation" remove the file named " Packages".Open the USB drive (the name " USB" will become " OS X Base System", that's why you need to smartly unmount the other one using Disk Utility to avoid confusion.).Upon finition, smartly unmount OS X Base System disk under " Disk Images" in Disk Utility.If so, type it in and click ok then wait. You might need your password to complete this task. You should see " Restore from: OS X Install ESD" click on " OS X Install ESD" and choose " OS X Base System" from the dropdown menu. On the status bar, click on " Edit" and choose " Restore". While still inside Disk Utility app, click the second partition (it's should be named USB).It's needless to say that you should backup its contents first. Of course, everything on that drive will be destroyed. The second one's format should be OS X Extended (journaled) and give it USB as name. The 200MB partition format should be MS-DOS (FAT) and give it CLOVER as name. One with 200MB and the other one with whatever size you want. ![]() Click "Partition" and create too partitions. Right click on BaseSystem.dmg and click open to mount it. Make sure that hidden files visible (there are many ways, use Google). If so, then right click on the file, click "Show Contents Packages". I assume that you have downloaded the installation from Mac App Store. ![]() Use the "Restore BaseSystem.dmg" method to create the installation USB. RecoveryHD = El Capitan recovery drive. ![]()
