![]() On which disk lies the OS? Also you mean to say that disk1s1 is the Macintosh HD – Data drive and disk1s5 is the “Macintosh HD” drive, right?īoth the disks mentioned are "Macintosh HD - Data". Does that mean I’ll have to proceed with installing all third party apps? And all my previously saved settings are gone? ![]() The surprising thing is when I try to open my previously installed application from application folder in “Macintosh HD - Data” drive like say, Android Studio it completed the installation first and then opened. My question is how do I get to merge both the drives into a single Macintosh HD drive like its supposed to be. The reinstall completed successfully but after completing the initial setup I noticed all my desktop icons that i had previously were missing locally on the desktop (safe to say I already maintained a backup on iCloud Drive, so its still there on iCloud) but I also noticed there are 2 HD drives visible in my finder the “Macintosh HD” & “Macintosh HD - Data” and all my data from previous OS are there. I proceeded with the erasing of the “Macintosh HD” Drive using startup disk utility (cmd+opt+R) method and then exited out from disk utility and clicked on Reinstall Big Sur OS as that is where the latest OS version will be downloaded and reinstallation happens. So the only option that they recommended was to erase the drive “Macintosh HD” - as that is where the OS is installed and not to do anything that said “Macintosh HD - Data” as that is where all my User files and apps data reside. I reached out to Apple Support technical team to help me with reinstalling the OS without compromising on data since I did not maintain a time machine backup neither did I have an external USB drive then to create a bootloader of the OS image installer file.
