But don’t worry, the program of choice for making an Apple filesystem disk, GParted, isn’t included with every distro of Linux, so you might still be able to fire up that terminal! I’m running Ubuntu, and thus use the APT package manager. However, for this project, I recommend the opposite. Usually, we carry out tasks with a shiny GUI in Windows, and terminal commands in Linux. If there isn’t any smoke coming out of the back of your computer, check to see that the partition appears with the following. I assume ‘af’ stands for Apple filesystem. I Googled around a bit and didn’t find a clear explanation, except that whatever follows the id tag lays out block sizes, etc. I’ve used Diskpart more than a few times in the past, but this was the first time I had seen the ‘id=af’ parameter.
Now clean the disk and make a new partition with the following commands. Sorry for yelling, but I can’t count the number of times I’ve blindly cut and paste commands from a tutorial and wondering why I get errors when I was supposed to replace bits of the command with my own info. REPLACE THE # WITH THE CORRECT DISK NUMBER! select disk # Once you are are sure you know which disk is the one you want to format it, select it with the following command. If you aren’t sure which drive to use, you can eject the new drive, and run the previous command again to see which one disappeared.
If you don’t choose wisely, you might accidentally format the wrong disk, and lose your data, your OS, or maybe your will to live.
