Hi!
My Mac crashed today...
I'm not familiar with repairing my computer, this computer use fusion drive.
When rebooting, I just get the grey screen, and after a long while get the Apple logo that changes into a kind of "prohibited sign".
So, I did a few things I read about on the net =
I booted doing a shift+cmd+v to see what happen during the boot.
When I do that =texts scroll and end up with a "still waiting for root device" or something.
I rebooted again with a cmd+R to repair.
When doing that I can access the repair menu.
I started Disk Utility which detects a error on the disk.
Disk Utility says "disk error = a error has occurred on your disk. Would you like to revert it to a working state."
"this will erase the following volumes:" and then nothing is listed in the box below.
I can click on "fix" or "ignore".
Now my question is= should I press the "fix" button ? how should I interpret that nothing is listed on the box that lists what would be erased:
-nothing will be erased ?
-everything will be erased ?
-there a bug ?
My major concern now is that I'll lose 2 weeks of work if I can't solve that properly.
thanks for your help!
