Q: Fusion drive fail, bootcamp partition works fine
I have a late 2012 mac mini i7 quad core processor with a 1 TB fusion drive that i put together. Yesterday, I was casualy using it when it started to freeze as slow down tremendously. I got fed up and had to do a hard reset. the loading bar got stuck on 3/4. So i tried a few commands in hope that it would just be a small hiccup. here is all that i have tried with no luck.
- Option+Controll+P+R to reset the nvram
- Option+ R (I think) to access disk utility to see if i could do a repair and i got a red ! saying it failed.
- Shift key to access safe boot. After many tries i finally got in using the guest account. my background from my desktop was still there along with my apps which tells me nothing has been deleted ( I forgot to mention that in disk utility i tried to erase the partition for the mac and was told it failed.)
-command + s and entered this phrase that i forgot. it was in a forum that i found and after i typed reboot and still nothing.
- I tried to re install the OS and it couldn't.
After all these attempts, i got into safe boot and tried to access disk utility and cant get in anymore because of something related to core storage. Windows side works perfectly fine.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
