OK, I have a problem with my MacBook. It seems I can't boot up from the Hard Drive anymore. When I boot up with the OS X Install Disk, I see that my Hard Drive is still there. I tried to use First Aid, but I got a message in red bold letters saying "Error: No valid packages" in red letters. After lurking, I found out I deleted the receipt while I was cleaning it up using Onyx. Little did I know I needed that receipt.
Now, I can't use First Aid, I can't Partition, etcetcetc...
The only time I even see the Apple from the boot-up screen is when I have the Install Disk in.
Does anyone have any idea what I could POSSIBLY do?
I live in Tokyo, so it's hard to get help for me (My Japanese is bad.) I come to you with my simple request.
Should and do I have to boot from an External HD? Do I have to just buy a new HD? Do I dare take it to the Apple Store? (Supposedly, they don't understand English)
Right now, I'm using my brother's PC to get help. www.apple.com hasn't helped a bit. Please, please help me.
P.S.
I ran Terminal and typed in some commands someone told me to do...
here's the URL for what I typed in
(Looks sloppy in a forum, so I pasted it in Paint)
It's a picture of essentially what I did.
Please, please help.
