After i installed a new 128gb SSD on my macbook late 2009, i used a boot usb with sierra to instal osx...
It seems SSD cannot be formated and i get an error <Volume erase failed: Media kit reports not enough space on device>
this error needs terminal command to be solved= to write zeroes on ssd and allow formating of it as it is 128gb and below size of 200GB needed for diskutility to format it...
i open terminal from usb boot installer, and says 'basic' mode.
i do sudo dd.... and i get back command not found
any clues how to replace this command correctly for sierra ?
this is where i got it from
https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/...utility_fails_to_eraseformat_an_external_hdd/
I also tried to edit path using another web example, nothing... maybe i have to reset it back also and dont know how to do so.
I tried to format it as extended also and worked, but after i went back to SSD APFS, it allows now formating, but i also see it creates a 'container' and dont know if this is something default by format or i need to remove this container and format again after writing zeroes to ssd with terminal
any help....
