needs today we're going to talk about

problem where Disk Utility won't format

a drive because it can't unmount it so

in this case we have a external USB disk

is he right here we've got a plugged in

and we want to reformat it you want to

wipe it out and reformat it usually in

Disk Utility you would select either the

volume partition or the disk itself and

you should be able to erase it so here

if we choose erase to format it will

choose the Mac format and we'll just

leave it being cold untitled we're go to

erase try to erase and we get an error

there's a couple of errors you can get

and this one there saying it couldn't

open device and sometimes you'll get an

error saying it can't unmount the device
