a while ago suddenly found their MacBook has not brushed the system for a long time, 10.9 with a good, but Bootcamp installed win8.1 more and more cards, the more slowly. Wanted to redo the dual system, then evolved into two systems updated together, and then later turned into a tragedy. Because I have not used time machine recovery habits, so each brush computer is a road, a slip, it is easy to become the eternal hate. Pity... I was unlucky to stumble .... Here will be the pain of the brush experience recorded, to warn you, do not make the same mistakes as me, you must remember to use time machine backup once.
before I start, I'll explain why I didn't use time machine to recover.
First: Time machine does seem to be one of those times machines that allows us to go back to one version of our own computer, but it may not solve many of the system problems we have, starting with the Software Engineering Institute, I have always thought that the system would need to be refreshed at intervals. Here the refresh is completely refreshed;
Second: The study is software professional, with so long time Apple Computer, brush machine What is the fundamental thing, conceited adhering to the professional people's self-confidence and accomplishment, I do not love to use time machine, because it seems to some extent some deny themselves.
Third: The valuable mobile hard disk is full of data, and can not bear to distinguish a zone for time machine backup.
But, just yesterday I was a real hard hit a slap, not only washed out all the computer system, but also accidentally formatted hundreds of GB of mobile HDD, called every day should not, called ground not spirit. Here again in good faith to suggest that everyone, especially some quite confident "professional", careful to sail the ship, when you operate in error, Time Machine Forget is the last straw.
Let me say a few mistakes in the process of my brush, in order to play the role of warning, we do not make the same mistakes with me.
First: Remove bootcamp delay response, strong retreat. This result is very serious, read the bar read to the end, I strong back to the disk tool found that the bootcamp 250GB partition turned gray, that is, the removal is unsuccessful, so that the disk tool can not collect this part of the information. The Mac also needs to be re-installed, but be sure to merge the two large partitions (500GB mac and 250GB's original bootcamp partition) before reloading. But I tried to merge but there was an error, the power-on option, into recovery HD, was the same result that could not be merged. Conclusion: The process of removing bootcamp may be sluggish, will be stagnant, time will be long, but try not to be strong, or to be removed when the computer is running well.
Second: When the first mistake was made, it had to be re-installed along with the Mac system. In fact, this time only need to make a startup disk and then re-installed when the merge partition can be, but I have brain residue, I think I know the network recovery can merge partitions, so the option +command + R entered the network recovery, using the dorm's broken wireless, after 4 hours of waiting, entered the networked reply, partition, success! Click Reinstall Mac OSX, where I found that networking recovery seems to only restore to Lion's 10.8 system? I'm not quite sure. But Lion can also be upgraded, anyway, has merged the partition to wash off the system, became the board brick. But just as I was overjoyed, the following picture appeared, and I tried again, and the result was still the same. I have no words, the computer has become a brick, network recovery is not used.
Conclusion: It is not the last resort to use network recovery, I know too much.
The third: The network recovery can not be used, I can only make a startup USB flash drive to install, but the wit I put under the mirror of the mobile hard disk and to be made into a bootable disk USB plug into the port at the same time, formatted, OK. Bite... Formatted their own mobile hard disk, more than 300 g of data are gone .... But I do not know how to recover data, Daoteng half a day later, only confirmed the fact that the information can not be found back.
Conclusion: Use that U disk to check the U disk, do not plug a few, if a mix of the disk, the cost is very painful.
Fourth One: This is also the most amusing place. Follow the online tutorial using Windows system to make Mac OSX Startup disk. Using the soft disc pass (UltraISO) made 3 times, every time you plug into the computer did not respond, online tutorials are older, will not be suitable for 10.10 system? Check it out, it sure is. Need to use Apple Computer to make boot USB, and the process is not simple, I had to find another Apple computer classmate made a boot disk. I refer to this article, the Pro-test is available:Http://www.iplaysoft.com/osx-yosemite-usb-install-drive.html
Conclusion: It is very fake to make Mac boot disk in Windows system on the net, all kinds of problems are unavoidable, so if you want to re-install the system, before your system is erased, do the boot disk, and check the USB port to start the option to try. If the identification can be directly re-installed, re-install the time can be partitioned do not need to be as complex as me.
after this refresh system, know a lot of deficiencies, their own still need to learn more improvements, these mistakes of experience, to everyone a warning, I hope you do not make me the same mistakes.
