[QUOTE="danny842003, post: 1545295, member: 262388"] So I downloaded the update, I did not do a backup as I really was not bothered if I lost everything and my understanding was you coudl download the OS X anyway. So I ran the install and instantly get a message Now hitting restart just gets me back to the same place. I cant deleate any thing in disk managment as it says the disk cant be dismoutned. And the HD cant be repaired. I restarted hit cmd and went through the options that displayed the computer could not verify that i was entitled to download a new copy of OSX. So then i hit surf the web with safari which is where i am typing this from. The funny part is it kept asking me for a keychain password so something must have worked. Any ideas? as I really do nothave time to go to an apple store this weekend and need my laptop. So annoyed with myself that I did not make a back up (Not that im sure it would make any difference) And more annoyed as I wasnt going to bother at all and just updated out of bordom. [/QUOTE]
