I chose the ssd that was failing and deleted all of the volumes. In Ubuntu under applications there's one called "Disks", in there, believe it or not, you can see all the disks connected to the device. You'll be promted to choose between using a testversion of Ubuntu or installing it, I just ran the test. Launched the macbook into boot menu and chose the usb.

Made a bootable out of a usb, fat32 with 16kb, normal settings.

COULD NOT UNMOUNT DISK MACBOOK PRO PRO
Ubuntu 18.04 image release for MacBook Pro 2017/6 with Touch Bar – FoolControl – Phear the penguin I downloaded this modified version of Ubuntu which is optimized for these Macbooks, the normal Ubuntu wont work with trackpad and keyboard. I've solved it, after a week of constant work on this I finally found a way. If I were to make a bootable usb, how do I make sure I boot recovery mode on the usb, so that the ssd is unmounted and I can erase my Macintosh HD? Is there a way I can erase my Macintosh HD and start over with OSX, since I seem to need more space and booting from a usb didn’t work? I have ran Internet recovery and tried to unmount my ssd, but it wont let me, nor can i unmount it using commands in the terminal.īoth diskutil unmountDisk with and without force promts a "couldn't unmount volume". I’ve seen that there is a repair-program on these devices but mine doesn’t qualify. I have tried making a bootable usb but once it finishes installing the same gray progressbar loads to 100% and stays there, even when making sure I boot from it.Īs a final solution I’ve created images of my pictures and documents to back them up, the problem is that I can’t seem to erase the Macintosh HD disk/volume. It’s a 128 gb machine and I’ve got 13.94 gb to spare, meaning I can’t just press the reinstall osX because theres 4gb missing in space to run the installation.
COULD NOT UNMOUNT DISK MACBOOK PRO MAC
A couple restarts later I started digging into it and have tried pretty much everything, first aid through Recovery mode and such does not work, the Mac just says it can’t unmount the drive.

Upon startup it gave me the Apple logo and a gray progressbar, which filled up to 100% and stayed there, it never booted. I let it sit for a minute or so and eventually force rebooted the device by the button. A couple days ago my Macbook pro 13 inch (no touchbar) A1708 froze, in the midst of doing practically nothing.
