I've got a MacBook Pro here that won't boot at all, it just goes to the grey icon that's a folder with a question mark.
So I boot into Internet Recovery, and get to the Disk Utility. It lists the internal HDD, but all the Verify/Repair buttons are grayed out and unclickable. Boo!
So I go into the terminal
and try to mount or repair it by using the diskutil terminal commands. Still no luck.
So then I try fsck_hfs on it (dev/disk12), but nope it's still not liking it.
I've done a couple of reboots, SMC/PRAM resets etc, but still all I can do is boot into Internet Recovery.
But now in the Disk Utility GUI the disk is gone
. That's no big loss, as all the Verify/Repair buttons were grayed out anyway. But if I open a terminal window and do diskutil list, it's not listed either. All I get are the various volumes being used by the Internet Recovery mode. The broken HDD dev/disk12 has now disappeared after doing fsck_hfs.
Any ideas what to do?
If the disk is dead that's fine. But earlier on it was appearing in diskutil list as dev/disk12 (just not allowing itself to be mounted or repaired or anything)... but now the disk has completely disappeared and there's nothing at dev/disk12!
