[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1565008"] Yep, if you man gpt, the first line says GUID partition table maintenance utility. Couple that with the word "remove" and I'm staying away. I'm no gpt expert, but from the reading of man gpt, what the OP did was remove his partition information on the boot drive, then overwrite it with something that obviously didn't work. So now his only hope is that some recovery software like Data Rescue can read the naked drive and somehow recover his files in sufficient quality for him to rebuild his data. That's a lot of work!
