how you doing everybody today i am
basically going to
solve a problem for you that i have been
seeing
several times when i'm trying to install
osx catalina on a computer that doesn't
have an operating system or a hard drive
in it yet
um i've seen many videos and obviously
it's not explaining it
and one of the problems i keep running
into is that
when you go to install your hard drive
or install your operating system on your
new hard drive
what you're running into is
a problem where it says disk locked and
i will
stop the video for a second and make
sure that we move forward too
so you don't have to watch a whole you
know thinking line go through
so as you see here i'm gonna go and
attempt to install catalina on the new
system
could do the same protocol that anybody
would go through when they see it
click agree
as you see when i click here it says
this disk is locked
and i'm basically going to show you how
you can fix that
moving forward so i'll move to my other
system and show you kind of what i did
to make sure i alleviated that process
so i go back to my original system and i
look at
basically my hard drive that i have set
to be the new installing hard drive on
the new system
i had to create two separate partitions
so that one could install on the other
as i did not have
an existing internal hard drive so when
i
clicked a partition the hard drive just
so you can see what it looks like
i literally split it in half that
catalina crucial
half of my drive
would be the mac os extended version and
then
your install location would be that apfs
so if you're running it from your
initial catalina you would create
basically two different partitions one
holding your op system and the other one
ready to receive the op system to run
your new system on
and as you go through that i'm assuming
you would know how you partition your
drive regularly because you already
initialized it so
after you erase your initial drive
you're going to
go ahead and partition a new partition
to be installed on
unless of course you have an existing
drive that's in your computer so that's
why you guys are running into that issue
because there is no
hard drive in your computer for the most
for the most part or the new hard drive
you're just thinking that the system
that you have it on is supposed to
install on that same hard drive so
basically this is how i found that
solution
so now what i'm going to do is boot up
the system i'm trying to work on i'm
going to hold option
so i get that drive as an option that i
want to boot off of
there let's see if i boot off that
specific drive i'm not going to make you
wait again
so now as we get back to our launch
screen i'm going to go
to that reinstall mac os
move forward just as we did last time
we're going to go to install catalina
assign your life away now you see
this is our same partition drive that we
split into two
that would be your installation and this
would be your install location
so i'm going to click the install
location that's where we want to put
that
and move forward obviously i'll connect
my computer to a power source for dies
on me
and we will start the process of the
next two hours
of installing
as you see right now it says 12 minutes
remaining i'm not gonna make you make
weight
about 12 minutes but i am going to make
you wait 11 minutes and 50 seconds no
i'm just playing i will fast forward the
video and show you the results as we go
along
so now it's moving back up to the second
phase of install
goes through two phases we got up to our
percentage of where we needed to be
before
now it's moving up to our second phase
so obviously i'm not gonna have you wait
again
i will shine back in when everything is
up to where it needs to be
still waiting on some movement i just
want to check in you guys anyway let you
know that
everything is definitely moving the way
that we wanted it to move
but still got some time to wait and yes
my screen's dirty
all right checking back in as you see we
got about a minute remaining i'm sure
it's going to go
way crazier than that but
we'll be back as soon as everything goes
up the way it's supposed to
so the reason you're seeing all this
coding obviously well not obviously
is because i um actually i'm installing
catalina on an old system so i had to
get
kind of a different install platform to
do it but as you see everything is
starting to boot up into the new system
um after we
partitioned that hydra so everything
works properly
just waiting for it to boot up now
so as we get everything uploaded you see
this is basically what your normal
startup system would look like because
we
after switching those um partition hard
drives around
everything got installed properly and
you just basically go through the same
protocol that you would go through to
install a system as you would any other
way
if you like what you see um make sure
you like the page subscribe to my
channel
because i will definitely be making some
more videos like this i am not a
computer genius i'm
learning as i go and i felt that this
was something i didn't see the solution
to so i um
kind of stepped in to find one and i
kind of recorded my journey as i did
hopefully
this is the solution for you and
everything works out and
thank you for tuning in to my channel
