Hello everyone,
I recently ran into a major problem... which is 100% my fault and now don't know what to do..
I decided that I wanted my computer to be brand new and delete everything... and from this point on everything went wrong...
1. I started off by holding down "option" and rebooted my macbook pro..
2. Then I went into disk utility and clicked on "Macintosh HD" from "160.04 GB Fujitsu..." HD and performed the "Erase Free Space" option and then the "Erase" option...
3. After that I tried to select the "160.04 GB Fujitsu..." HD and then delete the partition and make a new one but when I do that a error comes up saying "Disk Erase Failed. Couldn't unmount disk"
4. So I saw this freaked out and closed disk utility and clicked on "Reinstall OS X" and it says " OSX Mountain Lion" and after I Agree with everything, I come to the disk option and the only one that is available is "Recovery HD" and when I try to click on it to install Mountain lion, is says " This disk is Locked". The normal Hard drive isnt there like it should be so I am assuming that the hard drive is not recognized maybe? In disk utility, I can only "verify disk" and " repair disk". when I do that it says everything is okay! but the "verify disk permission and repair disk permission" buttons are greyed out... i dont know what any of this means.
soo here I am... Lost and confused. I now know that I screwed up somewhere and Im not sure how to fix this...
Can you guys please help me
Thanks in advanced
