Mac Factory Reset Issues

About a week ago I factory reset my mac because it would not function properly and I heard that it would help, but now I cant get back into it because it cant find my startup disk and I’m not transferring from a different computer. How can i get past this so I can use my computer again?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

Provide a startup disk that actually works, instead of your original that appears to have failed.


You MIGHT be able to enter Recovery Mode and ERASE the drive again and re-install, but what you are describing is the snowballing of error upon error that occurs as a drive dies.
