I am currently downloading a new OS X mountain lion onto an external hard drive as no disk appears for me to install my new OS X on. Hi there! I am experiencing the exact same problem- the only thing is I'm currently overseas and will be for the next month with no reliable wifi access and have had to use very expensive data so far to figure out what is wrong with my laptop.

I saw also a post re how to code some commands to gain access or change permissions but most readers then responded they lost complete access to the hard drive after that. Again, I have no choice to make partitions or do anything with my disk as the permissions are greyed out I can not changed that is unavailable. Please any any help would be really appreciated. I have tomorrow to deliver an assignment and aside from losing the document :-( and redoing all my work the saddest part is not having any laptop to work all over again.

The only thing I can see in the disk utility menu is my disk0 and base system this somehow says 1.19 GB( I recall my MACBook Pro had more memory than that but that is all I can see). If I go to the install OS X option (trying to re-install all from scratch) there is no disk available for selection. This means that I can not do anything else. Even tried to use a USB memory stick.įirst, My HD appears as" verified" but the rest of options are greyed out (permissions and repair). Hi I have the same problem than erka below and have tried absolutely everything without success. If Repair Disk reportes errors or OS X is still not starting up, then select once again your physicall Drive and select Erase Tab, erase drive, then quit Disk Utility and reinstall OS X: data will be lost. You might be lucky and your system might startup again.

If Repair Disk went ok and was successfully repaird, then select Macitosh HD and do the same for your volume: Verify Disk and Repair Disk and if no errors, Repair Disk Permissions. If Repair disk failed, then select ERASE tab and reformat drive then quit Disk Utility and reinstall OS X - data will be lost. If smart satus reports failure then HDD has a hardware failure. Click then on Verify Disk and Repair Disk if necessary. IF HDD is listed, then select physicall drive (not Macintosh HD volume) - it is first entry on the side bar - then on the first aid tab check fist S.M.A.R.T status (at the bottom, collum on the right hand side) - if it's verified, then problably issue is with software. IF HDD is not listed, then you have HDD failure and devie need to be serviced: HDD need to be replaced. Boot again to Internet Recovery (after powering computer press and hold ALT+CMD+R) and before attempting to reinstall OS X open Disk Utility and check if HDD is listed on the side bar on the left.

You won't be able to select drive if there is a software corruption or if there is a hardware issue. I'm REALLY confused and REALLY clueless and would appreciate ANY help with this. I'm writing this from the 'Safari Help' option on the Recovery menu, but I need my laptop and want to get it fixxed as soon as possible. I went and looked at the 'Repair Disk' one because then I thought it was bad, but I verified the disk that's on my computer and it apparently isn't able to be fixed. There's no disk.ĭoes it mean a physical disk? Do I need to find a blank computer disk? I thought my computer had a internal one. So I used my phone and google and tried to figure out how to fix it, and I figured out getting to the 'Internet Recovery' thing and I even got all the way into 'Reinstaling OS X Mountain Lion' when I got to the screen where it asks me to select a disk. But for some reason today when I started it up, it just had this flashing file with a question mark on it. I haven't had my laptop very long at all, I got it at the beginning of summer.
