Hi,

I cracked the display on mu Macbook late 2013 retina with Lion OS. The cost of repair offsets the difference in purchasing a new one so I sold broken laptop on eBay.

i backed up all the data using external display, however before shipping out I want to wipe the drive. The issue I have is while I have no problem seeing the screen with external display when in Mac OS, I cannot see the recovery mode so I can wipe from there.

what options do you suggest? Some suggested targeted disk mode but I never tried that.

I want to format but allow the user to see via external display.

Thanks
