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 |

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 ! |
