Time Machine and Recovery Disk failures
I'm trying to restore my startup drive from Time Machine. It has succeeded (takes 30 hours which seems like a long time) but when I try to boot from it, it says "Can't bless the system files." and won't start up.
Then when I try to use Recovery Disk to reinstall High Sierra, it says "Can't install MacOS on this drive, it contains an existing OS or a damaged OS." This seems very odd, the fact that the system is damaged is exactly why I'm trying to reinstall.
Is there a workaround for this? The files seem to be there, but I need to reinstall High Sierra.
