As a continuation of my previous question,

I'm trying to install Fedora to my mac, and now I can come to the beginning of installation step without an error, but during the installation process, the media does not recognise the hard drive in my mac. I have googled it this problem, and all the answers are saying something about changing somethings in BIOS, but in the previous installations, I were able to see the hard drive, so how to solve this problem ?

Edit:

Apparently, I can see a disk of size 32GB, but none of the partitions in my disk has 32GB size.

• Q: I'm assuming you can run Fedora "live" ok before installing, does it recognize any hard drives then? In /dev or with lsblk or blkid or gnome-disk-utility or parted / gparted, etc?
  
  
  
  
  • A: I checked last night (from the disk app on Fedora); it was detecting only the usb that installation media was on
  
  
  
  

That shouldn't happen...

It's a macbook air early 2015, and Google says installing Fedora to a macbook air 13 (early 2015) shouldn't need anything other than creating some free space on the hard drive in macos first... I doubt that's the problem...

You installed it before with Fedora 28, and there were no such problems... since the hard drive works (runs macos x OK) it could be something wrong with that version of Fedora. Try an older/newer version, or a different distro entirely like a Debian or Ubuntu or suse.

Result: Fedora 28 works & recognizes the hard drive as before; it must be a bug of Fedora 29.
