I want to sell my old iMac 27" so I secure formatted HDD with APFS and tried to install macOS (CMD + R) but installation is aborted with an error:
**It is not possible to install mac OS on your computer.
An error occurred when configuring file attributes.
Finish the installer to restart the computer and repeat the operation.**
I reseted SMC, PRAM but it is not success.I used WiFi, I used wired connection — no success.
HDD S.M.A.R.T. is OK.
I tried installation process many times but always get this error.
What can be wrong?
