Help... hoping to recover startup disk
In a moment of stupidity I downloaded El Capitan from my purchased apps (I was already running El Capitan) and now it’s trying to install over my startup disk. It fails to install each time, but keeps trying to install with every restart and I can’t get out of this vicious loop. When I go to select a startup disk I don’t see one so I hope I’m not past the point of no return. However when I go into disk utility and first aid it appears to be still there, or at least the data hasn’t been overwritten yet (?)
I figured I best reach out for some advice before I do any more damage. Thanks in advance...
