Seems like they are about 200-300 bucks and not that hard to put into the computer. Maybe I can post some screen shots tomorrow of what is going on. Original os x included Im pretty sure from research 10.7.4

Diskmaker x 3.0.4 pro#

General info: Mac book pro 'core 17' 2.3 retina mid 2012 my eyes are getting blurry from staring at screens all day. I think this is going to be a slow process. Maybe, if you have advice on the first thing I should work on, I will start there. Would that help me get back to before all this mess, or do I need to start from scratch. What about my back up on my external hard drive, which I did when I first bought it, its a wd my passport. Ill try to work on this tomorrow, maybe start with getting a new HD. Also internet recovery didn't work for me, I tried that as well and so the USB seemed like my only option at that point.

If these disk arrive, and I get a external disk drive, can I restart it with those?īut yes that exactly what I did, I deleted the Microsoft HD (HD that yes came with the mbp) and got lost with the partitioning/Guid, but the tutorial told me too =( or I didn't understand. Still have lion coming in the mail or email, not sure if disks or download.

So, I ordered Lion off of the mac store, originally and somebody told me it didn't matter, I could use any os x and it didn't need the original software it came with, and so I was able to download mavericks, only one I could get from app store no problem. Thanks, starving artist who bought a bad computer. I know this is a big problem to take on, or it feels like it to me, but I still haven't given up. So, I came home and tried to do it myself and now I'm devastated, wondering how I made things so bad, so quick. But somebody had deleted the operating system or he couldn't find the operating system file. One last thing, before I did this, a person who works on computers but who lives far away looked at the computer and said the diagnosis of the computer seemed that everything was good. Which I don't know if that was the case.ĭid I destroy the computer? Can I get a Microsoft HD back? Can I reboot from the passport? Any ideas?

Diskmaker x 3.0.4 how to#

maybe I was looking at the wrong toturial- it was a how to boot from a USB if your mac has no recovery startup. partitioning in disk utility screwed me up because I don't understand it. I don't know how I damaged my computer or how it got this bad, when it seemed like it would be so simple.

Before I did this, I backed up the computer on a external hard drive, my passport for mac, and I wonder if that could take me back to where I was before I did all this damage. It got to a point where it gave me a log screen of everything that happened so maybe I could figure it out, but it might as well be in a different language. So, at the top it just has the USB drive and in the box below I have a disk 1 and a disk 2 (Im not sure what any of this really means). It said my Microsoft HD had been damaged and when I restarted the computer or went back to disk utility is now completely gone. It started to download everything seemed like It may have worked, I got happy.and then boom fail.

Diskmaker x 3.0.4 mac os#

I got confused here 'Make sure you have a partition larger than your Macintosh HD and the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the GUID partition table.' I think this tutorial was incorrect about deleting the HD or I don't know how to partition

Diskmaker x 3.0.4 install#

then I tried to install Os x by clicking on Microsoft HD. so I went back and I clicked on the USB in disk utility and I tried to partition that, I did 1 partition, made sure it was mac os extended (journaled) and Guild. What I did- I clicked on Macintosh HD and I deleted it.Then I went to reboot and it said it couldn't reboot from USB drive because it wasn't partitioned. Everything seem to be going well, until they started talking about partitioning and GUID. Next I followed a tutorial on how to boot from the USB, and thats when I think I really screwed things up. Well, today I managed to download mavericks on my old iMac desktop and then use diskmaker to make a USB with mavericks on it. I know how to use a mac, as an artist, but when it comes to fixing or partitioning and hard drives. This computer has no disk drive, so that seemed to be the easiest fix, and I put it off until today when I tried to solve the problem. I was told that all I had to do was make a bootable USB drive and restart it from that, and it would solve the problem. It seemed to work fine, but after awhile it started freezing often and then the folder with a question mark started to appear. I bought a mac book pro, mid 2012, retina version- from somebody I didn't know, off of craigslist.
