One of these is a preboot volume that doesn't get erased when you just erase the main APFS system partition and this causes the installer to give that error message recreating a completely blank APFS container should resolve the issue. In the sidebar, select the volume you want to restore, then click the Restore button. If Disk Utility isn’t open, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type Disk Utility in the Search field, then click the Disk Utility icon. "Macintosh HD" is actually an APFS partition inside of an APFS logical volume management container that contains a few other (normally hidden) partitions. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose View > Show All Devices. More technically, what's going on is that Disk Utility's GUI is really dumb and there's arguably a bug in the macOS installer. (c) re-run the installer and things should work fine. If you're using the Disk Utility GUI to do this, make sure "Show all Devices" is selected in the View menu - this will allow you to actually erase the entire drive. (b) actually erase / repartition the drive (what you did was just erase one partition on the drive not repartition the drive itself which results in this "feature" / bug of High Sierra installs) - GPT/GUID partition table and APFS container would work (you can also create a Journaled HFS+ partition but this will just get converted to APFS anyway by the installer). (a) make sure you're booting to internet recovery (not the onboard recovery partition) Is there any way i can take it to an apple store so they fix it?
