Q: Operating System not found

Hello Guys, Top of the morning to you!

 

I'm having an annoying issue that i hope you guys can help me with, i've been trying to solve this problem for the passed few days.

I get this annoying error message when booting my Mac Mini. "Operating System not found"

 

I got the error after installing Paragon NTFS to write and download files onto my Macintosh D:/ file which was inaccessable

at all, hoping it would work since i could use the extra 200GB! I have Windows 10 installed onto my Bootcamp C:/ hard drive and i think

OSX is installed onto the Macintosh D:/ drive? I have no idea to be honest since i've used Windows since i first got this. I really need to get

this fixed, since i use my home PC alot and have alot of sentimental stuff on my PC and dont want to chuck an extra 1,000$ on a new PC.

    After reading the prompt 4 times, i found out what to do. I Followed the instructions and typed that all out on the terminal step by step then i restarted my PC booting with my BootCamp drive

    1. Is Paragon NTFS still installed?

    2. If you shutdown/reboot and hold the Alt/Option key, do you still get the same error? This eliminates Paragon from the startup sequence.

    3. Can you post the output of FDisk and GPT commands?

    4. We should also check if the NTFS file system is still intact. Please post the output of

         sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C

    5. Have you used any third-party partitioning/resizing tools for disk space?

    You should report this to Paragon and describe the issue. This is a nagging issue.
