help - think I have buggered my new macbook pro

[scott7saunders]

Hey,

I think I have buggered my macbook. Basically its one of the ones with the 128GB flash drive and after having it for just over 1 week I realised that the storage space was filling very quickly with stuff I probably didn't need to decided to restore it.

After booting into the recovery mode and erasing the partition I was prompted to enter a password which I did however the erase process seems to have failed and now the hard drive is grayed out and not able to be selected, unmounted or repartitioned.

what can i do ? have i screwed it up?

Please help.

Thanks

Scott

It should net boot (restore from internet)

I'll google it - meanwhile someone will put this thread in with other MacBooks

there you go…

think I have sorted it - there was a post on this group which had the following instructions

You can also open terminal type

sudo diskutil cs list

find the UUID at the top and type

sudo diskutil cs delete <UUID>

this has worked and deleted the hard drive allowed me to see it and the installation is working...

Phew!

Oh really? I had a different mental picture.

bugger

Technically means to sodomize, but most people use the word in a variety of situations, often without realizing the true meaning.

That's a term that should be used carefully in a SFW context.
