• Truly Wiping an HDD for resell?

  For HDDs, you'll want to use a program called DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) to wipe it. It's included in the Ultimate Boot CD, and you can make that a bootable USB instead by using Rufus. Source: over 1 year ago

• Both usb drives are not working even tho they're formatted in Fat32

  Someone below commented to use rufus. That tool is meant for flashing OS install images, but just using the format section should work fine. I use GParted's livecd, although that might be a bit overkill for a quick format. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Windows 11 Installation Assistant vs ISO file

  I would just download the ISO by itself. You don't really need the "assistant". Just mount the ISO with Rufus. Source: over 2 years ago

• Uninstalling Windows for Linux

  Maybe download the installers for Fedora & Tumbleweed and boot to the USB Drive you install the .iso file on to 'try' a distro first instead of destroying you current setup for the totally unknown world of linux. Use Rufus to create the bootable USB drive and HashTab to check the .iso files checksum. https://rufus.akeo.ie/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Cant install Mac OS on new M2 drive.

  When you download any of the above keep in mind it will start the download trough the update of the system, let the update continue to be downloaded, after the download is complete it wil start the update or it will point you to an older version. Whatever you do don't install the update just quit it CMD+Q and open this program: https://macdaddy.io/install-disk-creator. Source: 11 months ago

• Planning to downgrade from Ventura to Monterey

  If for some reason installing directly from the installer file doesn't work—you can create a bootable installer disk. This is what I do, in fact I bought a few cheap 32 GB USB-drives on Amazon—a 5-pack costs maybe $25—and install different versions of macOS on them when need be. If you don't want to create the installer disk manually, I think you can use this app. Obviously don't use the same USB-drive that all... Source: about 1 year ago
