Thank you so much for making this video. I'm passing on an old, Mac formatted hard drive to someone, and I ran into this error. I suspected it was going to be a stressful solution to find, but your video was precisely what I needed and I found it in seconds. Cheers for sharing the wisdom my friend! :)

**THANK YOU SO MUCH** for this tutorial. It's been driving me nuts as to why I couldn't reformat my hard drive - something I've done a tonne of times without any issues. I had to re-watch where to select "Options", but apart from that this was super-clear and easy to follow.

you need to format the whole hard-drive into ONE HDD and then make partition as per your choice I did the same and that only worked for me. Need to transfer data to another place, that's the option I found.

@WhyNotVideo211

It says failed either-way? I'd need more information but there are several factors that come into play. This solution usually works in most cases. Please make sure you selected "GUID." (2:33) Other than that it might be as bad as the drive is corrupt or just something as simple as loose or faulty wiring or even a software related permissions error. Make sure that the drive spins up and you are able to transfer files between it and your computer before attempting to format and partition it. Hope I helped!

Eurolinx Do you have a separate device that can play a youtube video? You need two things to attempt Bootcamp..... 1. USB Drive 2. A windows disc or USB loaded with it along with a license key.
