When I tried that, I get to a window asking me to choose Startup Disk to select to restart. But when I click the "choose startup disk" I get the the same issue with no options to select to complete the request.

I tried to do a chat with Apple, but after putting in the serial number of my laptop, I got a notice that my machine isn't eligible for chat support.

I don't want to erase as I haven't backed up in a while. Is there any other solution?
