Hello guys,
I've not been around for a while due to work commitments and enforced use of a PC machine. That said I wouldn't be able to access the forum if it wasn't for this one!
At home I run a mid 2010 27" iMac with a 1Tb ext HD TM back up and the last time I looked my Macintosh HD was using approximately 266GB of it's 1Tb capacity.
So I think this Mavericks looks interesting and given that I'm running 10.8.5 without any issues I think I'll give it a go. Disaster....."Install Failed" due to HD error. Grey screen, yellow warning triangles etc etc
I've been stuck in some sort of Install loop ever since and have just tried to repair the Macintosh HD drive by pressing Command R and using Disk Utility to repair the disk. No joy...it's telling me it can't repair it and that I need to back up as many files as possible, reformat the disk and then restore the backed up files.
Can anybody help with a step by step solution please ?
