[MAC] Part Two: The Gauntlet

After successfully installing Yosemite on 3 of the 2010's, I ran into an issue with the last of the quadruplets.
It wouldn't erase. After scratching my head a bit at why the hard drive was formatted and partitioned for MS DOS, I tried looking at the partition options, and I could make a new partition, formatted correctly! (Or so I hoped.)

I tried that, and bumped into another issue. It can't be verified, so the existing partition can't be erased. It said I need to run First Aid... Well that can't fix it because it can't be verified. I tried verifying the disc, and still no luck. 

I have decided to drop it off with a note that I can't fix it, but Mad Macs might be able to. I felt defeated.


Lucky for me, the older Mac minis took the flash drive and can boot with it now for whatever reason! (Even though it takes forever.)
I am so happy now! This is actually starting to work... Other than the broken one, I might finish before work on Monday!
