Hi,

i did bootcamp today and it somehow partitioned both my windows and mac (it deleted the mac partition and completely became windows) and now whenever i turn it on it boots directly into Disk utilities and i can't partition or first aid it (it says "Hard disk is locked") and is greyed out, i have the OS on a USB but i don't know where to go from here as i technically dont have ANY operating system when i hold option and try to boot into windows it says NO OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLED

thank you
 
Can you option key boot to the USB installer?

From there you should be able to use Disk Util to erase the disk and reinstall the OS.
I'll try that now and update you

it seems like the entire harddrive is locked to a mac osx with no operating system, i can't make any other partitions theres no room
