[QUOTE="alan01px2017, post: 1305921, member: 217203"] Hi, I'm new to Mac Forums (which is awesome, I found a lot of solutions to my problems here). I have a problem that I must have searched a billion times for answers but I couldn't find it. It's probably because this mistake I made was the dumbest in HISTORY! I hope you experts can help me with my problem. Every time I turn on my mac and press "option", the only option I see is Windows, no Macintosh HD. The problem is, I didn't load the Windows properly when I was installing it and now, everytime I click Windows, it says BOOTMGR missing and to press ctrl + alt + del to restart the mac (the function keys don't work). So how exactly to I find Macintosh again? I can't put any CDs in and the only function there is is the corrupted Windows option. So here's how this problem started. I was using bootcamp to install windows but during the process where it asks me for the disk space formatting to put windows in (it has partition 0, 1, 2, etc. and asks you to continue with the one with at least 128 MB to put it in). I deleted partition 1, 2, and 3 at the step and the only one located was the space that was "unallocated" and I pressed "new" and I accidentally setted it to 15648 (don't call exactly) MB which is equivalent to 149 GB (my entire mac is only 139) and it actually continued. But then when it was loading files, I figured something was wrong and I cancelled it, then I force powered it down. (Now here is where I made the dumbest mistake ever), I turned on the mac and shook my mac book pro to get the CD out (it came out), but then was when it said the BOOTMGR was missing and Macintosh HD was deleted. Anyone have a solution to this problem??? [/QUOTE]
