On the pie graph on the left, click the wedge that represents the partition you just erased. To do so, select your hard drive from the left panel and then click the Partition button at the top of Disk Utility. With the data erased from your partition, you still need to delete the now-empty partition in order to reallocate its space to the rest of your hard drive. This will bring up a window with an Erase button.
With your partition selected, click the Erase button at the top of Disk Utility. Next, click on the partition that you want to delete in the left panel. So how to resolve? I have tried installing several times and I get the same result each time so I know it is not a one-off problem.To get started, open Disk Utility by searching for it using Spotlight or finding it in Applications > Utilities.
And second, according to my disk utility I have over 140 gigs free on the drive so I know this is just a false error on the part of the installer. So, first, that is not the name of the drive. The icon above (null) is that of a standard hard drive, so I select it and am given the error message that there is not enough space on (null) to install OSX. This seems to work, and the install process does indeed kick off after reboot, but now the problem is that when I get to the screen where I am asked to select which drive to install OS X on, I am given two choices: The INSTALLER drive (a USB drive I am booting from) and "(null)". I created a bootable image on a USB drive using this method:īasically, formatting a USB drive, calling it INSTALLER, and using a previously downloaded installer to create the bootable image on the thumb drive with this command: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/INSTALLER -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app -nointeraction
