Q: Prohibitory Sign! Nothing but the prohibitory sign!
Just a disclaimer, I'm not very smart when it comes to computers so please bare with me. I normally deal with windows so this whole Mac thing is new to me also.
I just recently bought a mac pro tower from someone. It powers up, shows the apple symbol, and then goes to the prohibitory sign. I've looked this up for hours and they all say to go into disk utilities and all of that stuff. Command R. Command, option. R. I've done it all and it all just goes back to that sign. Holding Option down will bring me to where it will let me select a drive to boot from but of course the only drive is the main ssd which is apparently corrupted.
I've looked into making a bootable flash drive but cant seem to find any way to do it from a windows pc. I do not have another Mac around.
I am desperate! Thanks for your help.
