Only disk01 Os X Base System showing in disk utility recovery mode I have this MacBook Air mid 2012 (A1465), I wanted to make a backup of my files but a folder icon with a ❔ question mark appeared on screen, and when I boot into recovery mode my SSD doesn't show up in disk utility, neither terminal, there's only a bootable, I've been trying to find a solution without losing all my data but I can't.

Can't access recovery on MacBook pro 2011 13 inch So a couple months ago I tried to install windows but it kept black screening after installing the drivers (keep in mind this model doesn't include the failing AMD GPU and just uses the igpu) well it would still let me access the bootloader with Alt and MacOS but I decided to Try again later. Now I'm trying it after a few months and all it does is show windows and then black screen after loading into it. Restarting it and trying to do boot into recovery with Command + R or the bootloader with Alt does nothing, the windows logo just instantly pops up. All I want to do is get MacOS working with the bootloader and everything and if possible recover my files from MacOS. Sadly the screen is broken so I use the trick with closing the lid and using an external screen to use it. I have access to 2x 16gb USB drives, a 2015 Mac with windows and Mac installed and a 500gb external hdd.
