I have already went through that thread and nothing seemed to help, even tried reformatting and redownloading osx nothing seems to really work.

@Thisisanon,
The mods here are unresponsive unless you give them LOTS of information. At a minimum, you need to post your hardware, the version of Mac OS X you are trying to install, at what step of your install procedure you are seeing "Volumes are mounted," and what procedure you used to create Unibeast. And even then, good luck. Apparently they also want your record from Console/install log as mentioned in the thread you read. I try to comply, but trying to find the "beginning" and "end" of the install log text requested is for me like looking for a needle in a .... you know.

From one post below:

"OK I've found the solution on other thread - go to finder, then use 'go to', then enter /Volumes, then rename OS X Base System (with red - before it) to something else eg. Other Os X Base system. Reformat usb, try to run unibeast 6.2 again. It worked for me. It was also solution for my other problem (cannot remove installation files) in unibeast v 6.1.1."

Go into spotlight on your Mac and search disk utility. Open it and then look for a disk named after OS X Base system or something like that. It might not be named that but just eject the disk that you know is not usually on your system. Hover over it and click eject then try again with unibeast and it should work

The "volumes are mounted" error happened to me today after downloading Sierra on a real Mac. I noticed the Sierra install app was automatically opened after the download completed, not sure if that was the reason a volume got mounted or not, but here's what I did:

* Quit the Sierra Installer app
* Restarted my Mac, & logged in
* Ran UniBeast again.

Voila, the "volumes are mounted" problem was gone!

Just thought I'd mention it, since that's a pretty easy technique to try, in case other folks are having this same issue.
