Hi Everyone,

There is no problem on the screen. It is "Single User Mode" you fall into because of "-s" boot-arg.

Thank you so much for the quick answer!

 

probably I should have explained more.

the intention was to delete old data and profiles without the administration rights.
Its an abandoned IMac from 2009 for an art project.

So i made it to the disk utility menu, but then i cant erase the data on the hard disk.

I get the message:

 

Disk Erase Failed

Disk Erase failed with the error:

Couldn´t unmount disk.

 

the next thing i tried was the boost menu (cmd + s), that is on the picture in the last message.

 

Probably i looked in the wrong place for the funktion.

 

can you still help with that ?

 

 

Kind Regards

May be you are in the right way. Look on the screen

/sbin/fsck -fy

/sbin/mount -uw /

This is magic sequence to get an access to your disk for read-write.

@Gold and Amber

When Disk Utility can't unmount a disk, you can eject (unmount) it from the Finder, secondary button over the disk >> Eject.

But if it's the primary disk (the disk with the booted system) you can't erase it in this way, you must boot recovery mode or from another disk with macOS.

Another option is to build a USB macOS installer, reboot into the installer and erase the disk with Disk Utility.

okay, now from my understanding i need root level access, to be able to delete the old data.

I dont know yet how I can get root level access.

As I tried to run the comments, thats what happend. 

 

Maybe this is really complicated, or, more probably, I just dont understand yet.

Right command is "/sbin/mount -uw /"

Your photo looks other.

[Slice]

don't forget about fsck

 

[Gold and Amber]

I think I fed the exact same code. but the device aka disk is write locked.

maybe its really obvious for you guys, but as I said earlier, i have zero experience in codeing and very limited knowledge about what I try to do here XD.

so sorry for asking again -.-

First command is

/sbin/fsck -fy

Second command is

/sbin/mount -uw /

The order is significant

[Gold and Amber]

do the lines need right below each other, with nothing in between ? the problem is that at the moment i try to switch from the first line to the second(by pressing enter) it creates lines of code as it runs the code. the next question is where do i have to write the code? usually i can only write code behind the generated "bash-3.2#", but sometimes i can type in code without "bash-3.2#" being generated.

 

the marked lines where all I typed, everything in between was automatic filled in.

I just cant seem to get it right^^

 

 

thank you so much for your patience
