What should you do if your Mac’s hard drive is not visible?

An unknown problem may occur in the hard disk of your Mac computer, or the devices in the stores can be manipulated and crashed by malicious people.. In such cases, resetting the device immediately comes to mind.. However, when you want to reset the device, although it is very rare, the area to choose to install cannot be found due to a malfunction or sabotage on the hard disk. We need to get to the partition.

If the hard disk is visible but no partitioned area, cannot be partitioned or deleted, here is where things get difficult.

Resetting a Mac computer and removing the HDD To make it see again, we do the following:

  • We turn off the device and press the CMD and R keys together while turning it on again. (CMD+R)
  • The following screen appears (If your device is in Turkish, a Turkish menu will appear):
  • Here we select “Terminal” from the Utilities section above.

When the terminal screen opens, we write the following code:

$ diskutil list

  • A list of hdds will appear similar to the following list:
  • This is very important! You specify the disk you want to format. You must not identify the wrong disk, otherwise you may encounter unexpected results.. We specify disk0 or disk1 or another disk number from the list and write the following code: $ diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ name disk1
  • You can write the name you want to give to the hard disk partition in the “name” field here. The part that says “disk1” is your HDD. This could be disk 2 or some other number for you.. Usually the recovery is located on the disk0 partition, but it may change.
  • After typing the above command, the following will be done and the process will be completed.

Now you can close the Terminal screen, return to the main recovery screen, and check your disks from disk utility if you wish.. Then you can install your operating system from the “Install OS X” section.
