Thanks zogoibi for millions. I had the same issue like you had, I didn't know what to do until you gave me a very good idea so that I finally fixed my Macbook Air 13. I'd like to share my experience. | |
I have a late 2010 Macbook Air 13inch, I created 3 partition on a 256 SSD. One is for 10.6.4 (Extended Journaled), one for Data (exFAT) and one for Windows 7. Everything worked fine until I changed Data partition drive letter from F: to D:, it really messed up with the boot loader. I only had a greyish white screen without anything on it when I reboot my Mac. | |
I've tried all the usual fixes and combinations: | |
- | -plugin the USB bootable installation drive and hold down OPTION key |
+ | * Plugin the USB bootable installation drive and hold down OPTION key |
+ | * Reset the SMC |
+ | * Reset the PRAM - get the startup sound back |
+ | * Hold down C key when boot |
+ | * Single mode |
+ | * Target mode |
+ | * Battery powered, MagSafe powered... |

- | you name it, I tried them all, but nothing works, I just get the chime and the permanent white screen. |

+ | How to uninstall the SSD on Mac tutorial: [guide|4505] Now let's do it! |
Solution 1: | |
+ | * Shut down Mac, unplugged power adapter |
+ | * Opened the back cover on Mac |
+ | * Disconnected battery connecter for safety |
+ | * Uninstalled SSD from Mac |
+ | * Plugged in USB bootable installation drive |
+ | * Connected battery connecter |
+ | * Rebooted Mac without connecting the SSD |
- | - shut down Mac, unplugged power adapter |
- | |
- | - opened the back cover on Mac |
- | |
- | - disconnected battery connecter for safety |
- | |
- | - uninstalled SSD from Mac |
- | |
- | - plugged in USB bootable installation drive |
- | |
- | - connected battery connecter |
- | |
- | - rebooted Mac without connecting the SSD |
- | |
- | - it could be booted from the USB drive, and I finally went into Recovery Mode. I could use tools like Disk Utility, Startup Disk and Terminal, ect. But I discovered one thing right away, I couldn't set my USB drive as a startup drive sincere there is only one option which was network drive (with a question mark). |

I installed the SSD back, I rebooted it, I still got the same problem like before, a dead white screen. | |

+ | Solution 2: |
+ | * Removed SSD from Mac |
+ | * Connected USB installation drive |
+ | * Rebooted Mac, it booted from USB drive, goes to Recovery mode |
+ | * Connected an external USB drive (suggest using 40GB+ drive) |
+ | * Installed a new OS X on the external USB drive. |
+ | * Rebooted Mac pressing '''Option''' key, launched "Startup Disk" tools when in the Recovery Mode, and chose the external drive as a startup disk. |
+ | * Shut down Mac, installed SSD in Mac |
+ | * Booted Mac, it loaded the OS-X from the external drive |
+ | * Launch Disk Utility under OS-X, you would see you have the SSD back. |
+ | * Repartitioned SSD, reinstalled OS-X |
