[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1834239, member: 46727"] Sounds like the hard drive crashed or a SATA cable failure. Or, it could be some other hardware problem. Do you have access to another Mac or a bootable flash drive that you can boot the machine with? If you have another Mac you can try [URL="https://www.howtogeek.com/214322/how-to-boot-your-mac-in-target-disk-mode-for-easy-file-transfers/"]Target Disk mode[/URL] to gain access to your data if the hard drive is salvageable. The other method would be to use a bootable flash drive or external hard drive to boot the MacBook Pro with. It may then be possible to access your data. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access your data but it's worth a try. If all else fails and the data is valuable, you might think about using a data recovery service. Data recovery services vary in price but most are expensive. [/QUOTE]
