Hello! Recently encountered a problem with OSX start, after an emergency shutdown macbook

Hello! Recently encountered a problem after an emergency shutdown macbook (it was shut off due to low battery) and now I can not boot in OS X, the fact that I can't see what became of OSX, so as I have in parallel is Windows that is loaded instead of OS X (video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oSTZhaVy9g sorry for the quality, with YouTube's nothing you can do) When you select a disk partition with OSX in Windows, via Bootcamp the same. What could it be? Maybe there is a function of the last successful run? I have the opportunity to the entire disk with OS X, from file system to programs. Moreover, OS X has remained 1password. I would be very grateful for help, because the answer is never found. I have MBP 371 ll/a with OSX 10.9.5.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Hi! I have tried to boot Mac OS X In recovery mode (use the command+R), but in Recovery mode it does not load and disk utility does not appear, and instead starts Windows. I have tried many times without success.

You can try Internet Recovery if your computer is new enough - command - option/alt - on a restart. If that doesn't work, do you have the disks that came with your computer or a Snow Leopard DVD?

Get an external drive with nothing on it and use Disk Utility's Restore tab to copy the drive to the external.

Hello! I have a problem, the disk with Mavericks is invalid. And I can't fix it, disk utility writes me error. I called support, I was told that you can transfer files using Firewire mac to mac. BUT I don't know what cable I need, know what kind 1394 beta, but male or female I need, on both connectors.
