Did an option key start after the question mark file came up on start-up. After three hour internet recovery I have the Mac OS X Utilities up with four choices, Time Machine Backup (tried this, nothing there), Reinstall Mac OS X, Get Help Online and Disk Utility. What do I do now? I'm not Mac savy. Any help appreciated.
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Hi,
First I'd try Disk Utility to Repair the Boot partition, then Repair Permissions, then Re-install OSX. 🙂
Tkx Aqua, repair is not an option and verify disk does not show the Recovery HD as per instructions.
It would sem the hard drive has big problelms, but does any other Partitition show?
This is a pic of the screen from Disk Utility with OS X Base System info highlighted. These are the only things that come up. ? Tkx
Ouch, it does appear that the Hard Drive has failed. 😟
I'm not exactly sure which MBA you have, but...
MBA is a 6/12 came with Leopard. Really didnt have anything important on the Air and we do have a newer Pro so I think I will do the HD swap unless I can wipe the existing HD and boot from the Pro some way.? Tkx
I don't know much about booting the MBAs from another drive.
what option do i choose in os x utilities after internet recovery
