I have chosen the option to reinstall osx lion 10.7. I agree to the terms but now I'm stuck as I have no where to save it to. I don't understand. The other Internet recovery options are useless to me. I don't have an external drive. If this option won't work I can't access my computer unless there's another way.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mountain Lion will be downloaded into your drive and it will install
It says select the disk where you want to install Mac osx.
There's a blank box below no options for me to choose and for this reason it's not possible to press the continue button
Close it, open Disk Utility and check the sidebar. If your hard disk appears, select Macintosh HD and press Mount. If it doesn't work, you must erase the disk
In disk utility there's only "disk0" and "Mac Osx base system" both of which I only have the option to restore. When I click to restore it tells me to restart my computer which I don't want to do because it will do the Internet recovery load again
Take it to an Apple Store. Your disk could be damaged
I can't I'm in a different country Mexico an where I'm staying doesn't have an apple store
Go to a reseller. You have to go to it because they repair the Macs
You have an Internet connection...either WiFi or Ethernet...Ethernet preferred?
I'm using Ethernet. There are no shops with that service here.
Reboot while holding down Command + Option + R, first use Disk Utility to verify & if necessary, repair your disk. Assuming that goes OK, then try reinstalling OS X. If you get any errors verifying/repairing, post back.
Every time I restart my computer it reloads the Internet recovery system which takes approximately 20mins every time. I can't repair my disk as the button doesn't allow me to press it. I haven't ever received an error message
Reboot while holding down CMD+OPTION+P+R keep holding until you hear the second chime. Now try CMD + OPTION + R again.
I tried that but there's no chime sound only the initial startup sound. It went straight to the Internet recovery again
I guess I need to wait two weeks until I return home to have it fixed. Thank you. Being in this situation does this automatically all my data is lost and it's impossible to get back??
Internet recovery please help
