Have a 2012 MBA 11.6 .
Tried bootcamp for installing windows 7 . All went well. Windows was working fine till I realised I was running out of space .. So I tried increasing the bootcamp partition via teh windows disk manager and yup I screwed up the partitions .
Lost the mountain lion partition as well as the recovery hd and even the windows stopped booting.
So I somehow got into Internet recovery and managed to delete all the screwed up partitions and now I hav 240 or so gb of free space.
Now here is where my problems begin.
I switched off the Internet recovery thinking once the recovery has been loaded from Internet it won't need to be reconnected to Internet . Yup another blunder.
Now the problem is I m on a trip away from home . Hotel connection ain't that good.
I somehow got hold of another mac and made a recovery disk using recovery disk assistant.
But I can't Entef the recovery using that disk. If I select it I get the grey screen with a circle and slash in between.
Has anyone had this problem ?
I m thinking of visiting local apple store but I don't know If they will help .
Is there any way for me to enter recovery without internet? The USB I made doesn't work.
Sorry for the confusing post. It's 2am here
