Restart your computer and try again.Ĭhoose the option you want to use from the Utilities window or the Utilities menu. If you see a login window or your own desktop instead of the Utilities window, it's possible that you didn't press Command-R early enough. Restart your Mac, and hold down Command + R at startup until the Apple logo appears.Īfter your computer finishes starting up, you should see a desktop with an OS X menu bar and an OS X Utilities window with the options listed above.See How to use macOS Recovery for reference - but the relevant steps are below: macOS / OS X Internet Recovery It sounds like you don't have a backup of your original OS X setup, and since you also likely don't have the Recovery partition, you can reinstall in the following way from scratch (assuming you have a relatively recent machine): Here is what it looks like with my flashdrive plugged in when I choose where to boot from. If you need any more information I'll gladly give it. P.s like I said earlier I have a windows 8.1 PC, so I can use that to help fix it if necessary I just really need my OSX back. I'm really not experienced with Ubuntu and I really don't want to have to keep Linux, so please if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I can boot from the flash drive and get this. I get this screen every time I boot from the hard drive then get stuck at a blank (looks terminal-ish) screen which doesn't load. It then started to install and I must have somehow clicked install onto the hard drive because now both my hard drive and my flash drive are Ubuntu (both recognized as "windows" in the boot screen) and I really need to get my Mac OSX back. I plugged it into my Mac OSX, rebooted, held the option key, and booted from the flash drive (it recognized it as "windows" by the way). I burned Ubuntu onto the flash drive on my desktop PC (windows 8.1) with universal USB installer, I believe.
I installed Ubuntu onto a flashdrive hoping to be able to dual boot Linux/OSX.
