Blinking folder with ? in it?
I have a 2012 Macbook Pro i7 intel 4GB of Ram and a toshiba 750GB HD. I started it up like i normally do but today I didn't see the apple logo gray screen and a folder with a ? mark in the middle blinking? I have tried the Command + R and it goes to the world spinning log on to wifi and then it gives me the screen with 4 options disk utility ,reinstall,web support,and i have went thru all options and I don't see the HD to choose to start up from. it says not enough information gathered? Is there a different way to be able to access the HD from a my Mac Pro desktop via usb? I can reinstall the OSX because it can't find the HD? so It knows where to install itself to?? I have a lot of Files that I can't afford to delete or lose!! any out there have any suggestions or Ideas? i know my best bet is to buy a new HD and just be done with it! I need those files off this crashed HD can't lose them!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
