[QUOTE="macadamian, post: 1447242, member: 272679"] Hello All, I'd really appreciate some help here. Macbook Pro 13" - Mid 2010 Came with Snow Leopard but installed Mountain Lion a few months ago. I wanted to wipe out the hard drive and have it reset to factory default settings but I was in a bit of a rush and messed around a bit too much and now I have a problem. First, I erased the 'Available Space', Then I erased 'Macintosh HD', then I inserted my Snow Leopard Installation DVD, but for some reason I then restored Macintosh HD with 'Mac OS X Install DVD and now Macintosh HD is gone. I have a time machine back up, I connected it and went to restore from time machine back up but now it's not showing me an available disk to save it to. Hope that makes sense. I attached an image of what my Disk Utility looks like. [ATTACH=FULL]17930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]17931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]17932[/ATTACH] Any help would be great, and I will reply quickly so I'm not wasting anyones time. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
