You can only create new partitions if your hard disk has unallocated space. Right-click on the unallocated space and select New. You can also format existing partitions to HFS+.Run GParted and select the hard disk in the dropdown list at the top right. My hard disk is /dev/sda.Now we will create the HFS+ partition with GParted.
There are some commercial softwares that support creating HFS + partitions on Windows, but GParted is free. GParted comes pre-installed on many Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint… If you already have GParted installed, just use it. If not, you can download GParted or 4MParted ISO files then integrate into AIO Boot. You should use these two operating systems, as they have pre-installed programs that support the format. If you use GParted on Ubuntu, Linux Mint or Debian, you need to install hfsprogs. It supports many partition formats such as FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, Ext4 and of course supports Mac OS Extended. We can use GParted to create Mac OS Extended partitions in just a few simple steps. GParted is a well known disk partitioning program.
If you want to install macOS High Sierra or later versions, just use the Convert to APFS feature on Disk Utility. In this article, I will guide you to create a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition with GParted. In this case, you can use other tools instead of Disk Utility. Disk Utility will report MediaKit reports not enough space on device for requested operation. This error occurs because the partitions created do not comply with Apple’s partition policy. In another case, if you are using a Seagate, WD My Passport or any other hard drive that you previously partitioned with another tool. If you are a Linux user or operating systems other than macOS, you probably use another tool. Disk Utility only supports partition creation and formatting for Mac OS Extended (Journaled), exFAT, MS-DOS (FAT) and since MacOS High Sierra (10.13), it supports APFS. It supports creating, splitting, merging, resizing, deleting and formatting partitions on the hard disk. Are you having trouble creating Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and APFS partitions using Disk Utility? If so, you can create a Mac OS Extended partition using GParted, then convert to APFS using Disk Utility.ĭisk Utility is a disk utility on macOS operating system.
