Os x utilities no startup disk2/19/2023 ![]() I'm not really Tech savy, so I don't know what to do here beyond what I've stated above. Restart your Mac holding down 'Command(the Apple key)+S' key to enter 'Single user mode'. Click on the Apple logo at the upper left. macOS Recovery mode, the built-in recovery system of your Mac, allows you to reselect the boot volume when your Mac not recognizing the hard drive at first. So, I've exhausted all the options I can think of. Possibly start up with your original discs and then you can repair the drive, unless you have upgraded your OS X. Solution 2: Reselect the startup disk in macOS Recovery mode. Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. For the "Choose Startup Disk" option, there's no disk for me to choose to restart the laptop. If you can't start up from the bootable installer, make sure that Startup Security Utility is set to allow booting from external or removable media. ![]() For the Select a Backup Source option, it continuely searches for a Time Machine backup, but since I don't remember making one, I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna find one. I can only do First Aid, but I can't delete or restore anything. I quit the install and went to Disk Utility, I have 3 side-bar options (Superdrive, disk0, Mac OS X Base System). ![]() So upon doing the OS X recovery I was gonna reinstall OS X Lion, but upon verifying and agreeing to the terms, there's no disk to choose from. I restarted it a few times to no avail and then all of a sudden, I had the blinking question mark folder screen. The reason for doing the OS X recovery was because I did a RAW camera update for the El Capitan upgrade (Mind you, the first time I installed El Capitan on my computer it wrecked it the same way, don't know why I tried it again) and sure enough, after I did the update, my computer started running real slow after a few hours, some times freezing completely. I recently have to do an OS X recovery for my 17" Macbook Pro, but I've seen to hit a rock in a every way possible. ![]()
