Performing Disk Repairs on OSX without Install Disk
I dont travel with my OSX install disk (seriously, who does?) and found myself in a situation where i needed to repair my macbook pro’s hard drive using said installation disk.
There are two options if you find yourself in a similar position:
- Start in safe mode: Hold shift down during start up (performs a simple disk scan)
- Start in single user mode and run fsck: hold down command+s during start up and run the following command in the terminal prompt when ready: /sbin/fsck -fy
You’ll find more details on this apple support page
