So my MacBook crashed while in boot camp.
I've now made it worse because the partions are now too small to reinstall the os via WiFi
When I tried to repair the partions so I can't them it fails.
Is there any way to run a usb stick with some way to fix the disk back into one single partions?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7
Since you are looking at a newly formatted internal drive, I'd suggest you Reinstall macOS from Recovery mode. Boot again in recovery mode and install the macOS that is offered on that Utilities screen. Then, if necessary, you can upgrade the computer from there.
Apple's guidance for reinstalling macOS can be found here: How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support
Your Mac does not have Apple Silicon, so follow the steps for "On any other Mac".
thank you, grant and hwtech. there is no way could have done this otherwise. it says its installing montery 1hr20m (down from an initial 2hrs) left.
i really can't explain just how grateful i really am.
I took some photos. And will post. But now I get no entry sign :(
Tried that. I don't have the os left to boot into
When I try to reinstall it over WiFi it needs 64gb my remaining available partions to choose is 60gb
Ty so much for the fast reply. I'll give a try asap
I think I already tried this. But will do exactly as you say
It's says an error occured.
Is there any other option? I don't mind loosing my data lol
what model-year MacBook Pro is this?
It's a 2016 era MacBook pro

holy smoly, thanks for all this. ill give it a try asap. i dont have access to another mac. bare with me, this looks very scary :)
also, i'd upgraded (i think) 10.12 to a later version. if i get this working should i do that process again or go straight to newer macs and format in APFS ?
Which format do I choose?
This is fantastic Ty for being so fast. Apologies, but just to confirm, I should not format the drive, I should just restart then do as you say in recovery mode?
You're welcome. Glad to hear you got access to the full SSD with macOS and Monterey is being installed. We do appreciate the follow up to know things are on track.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Disk partions too small can't be repaired
