I could not repair my corrupted Macintosh HD because I could not access Recovery HD in my OS X 10.10.3 in my MacBook Pro. Command R and Option keys do not show the OS X Utility Windows. I just updated my OS X 10.10.3 to fix some bugs but no recovery HD still. Please help.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
diskutil list | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

Thank you for the reply. Let me try if I understood you.
Is this what you mean?

You do have a Recovery partition. To boot from it, hold down just the command and R keys—not option.
I did try Command R and I could not access the Recovery HD. If the Disk Utility is open, pressing Command R only opens another folder like in the picture. If i close the Disk Utility and press Command R, nothing is is happenning.
I can't access it. Thanks anyway. I will just bring my unit to iMac Center.
I tried it again. I was able to access the Recovery HD. Thank you very much for helping me! I appreciate it very much. You're a genius!
