Diskmaker x mavericks3/25/2023 maybe I was looking at the wrong toturial- it was a how to boot from a USB if your mac has no recovery startup. partitioning in disk utility screwed me up because I don't understand it. I don't know how I damaged my computer or how it got this bad, when it seemed like it would be so simple. Before I did this, I backed up the computer on a external hard drive, my passport for mac, and I wonder if that could take me back to where I was before I did all this damage. It got to a point where it gave me a log screen of everything that happened so maybe I could figure it out, but it might as well be in a different language. So, at the top it just has the USB drive and in the box below I have a disk 1 and a disk 2 (Im not sure what any of this really means). It said my Microsoft HD had been damaged and when I restarted the computer or went back to disk utility is now completely gone. It started to download everything seemed like It may have worked, I got happy.and then boom fail. I got confused here "Make sure you have a partition larger than your Macintosh HD and the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the GUID partition table." I think this tutorial was incorrect about deleting the HD or I don't know how to partition then I tried to install Os x by clicking on Microsoft HD. so I went back and I clicked on the USB in disk utility and I tried to partition that, I did 1 partition, made sure it was mac os extended (journaled) and Guild. What I did- I clicked on Macintosh HD and I deleted it.Then I went to reboot and it said it couldn't reboot from USB drive because it wasn't partitioned. Everything seem to be going well, until they started talking about partitioning and GUID. Next I followed a tutorial on how to boot from the USB, and thats when I think I really screwed things up. Well, today I managed to download mavericks on my old iMac desktop and then use diskmaker to make a USB with mavericks on it. I know how to use a mac, as an artist, but when it comes to fixing or partitioning and hard drives. This computer has no disk drive, so that seemed to be the easiest fix, and I put it off until today when I tried to solve the problem. I was told that all I had to do was make a bootable USB drive and restart it from that, and it would solve the problem. It seemed to work fine, but after awhile it started freezing often and then the folder with a question mark started to appear.
