I just installed time machine to a local harddrive and it worked without any problems (in the beginning). So anyway, I restarted eventually and instead of getting Darwin bootloader I got a flashing underscore! I reinstalled and tried all kinds of fdisks commands ! Help!

Thanks,
peter

MBR or GUID & with EFI or without?

Seems like GUID

I have no idea what guid and efi are. How do i check?

Would it be possible to simply overwrite the entire disk with 0s? I heard about this dd command somewhere...

Thanks !

My time machine backup was on the same hdd ! And also its the bootloader that isn't working..

Anyways I found out that my drive was guid.. How do i change it back to mbr?
I have yet to find out what EDI is...
