Hi all,
Today I booted my MacBook Pro (13 inch), but it took way too long to load (it was still at the white screen after 15 minutes), so I held the power button and restarted. Now, it does nearly nothing...
What DOES work, is the Network Recovery option. I held Alt while booting and managed to get a terminal and disk utility up. The disk utility shows a single disk "disk0" with a single volume "OS X Base System". However, this base system is read-only, and only 1.4 GB!? It reports 232 MB available, which sounds about right, but obviously I had a bigger hard disk than just 1.4 GB.
I tried running fsck in the terminal on all disks there (disk0s[1-7] or something and disk[0-11]), but all of them were smaller than that.
I'm not completely sure that this is my disk. I can't see any hint that it is. Even /etc/passwd does not display my user. So it could just be the downloaded image for the internet recovery, though it would be quite a coincidence for it to have the same space available.
What doesn't work: anything else I tried. Single user mode, verbose mode, some system check (I believe the keyboard sequence for that was cmd-shift-p-r, and another one with just "d"). When trying to re-install it does not show any available hard drive to install on.
So I've got two questions:
1. The disk0 -> OS X Base System, is that my disk, or is that the disk image downloaded for the recovery system?
2. If this IS my disk, is there any way it could be related to a corrupted partition table? And if so, is there any way to try to fix that?
Thanks in advance
