See How to use macOS Recovery for reference - but the relevant steps are below: macOS / OS X Internet Recovery It sounds like you don't have a backup of your original OS X setup, and since you also likely don't have the Recovery partition, you can reinstall in the following way from scratch (assuming you have a relatively recent machine): Here is what it looks like with my flashdrive plugged in when I choose where to boot from. If you need any more information I'll gladly give it.
#Universal usb installer zorin windows 8.1#
P.s like I said earlier I have a windows 8.1 PC, so I can use that to help fix it if necessary I just really need my OSX back. I'm really not experienced with Ubuntu and I really don't want to have to keep Linux, so please if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I can boot from the flash drive and get this. I get this screen every time I boot from the hard drive then get stuck at a blank (looks terminal-ish) screen which doesn't load.

It then started to install and I must have somehow clicked install onto the hard drive because now both my hard drive and my flash drive are Ubuntu (both recognized as "windows" in the boot screen) and I really need to get my Mac OSX back. I plugged it into my Mac OSX, rebooted, held the option key, and booted from the flash drive (it recognized it as "windows" by the way). I burned Ubuntu onto the flash drive on my desktop PC (windows 8.1) with universal USB installer, I believe. I installed Ubuntu onto a flashdrive hoping to be able to dual boot Linux/OSX. I'll try and dig up the system specs a bit later today in case thats of any help.So here is what happened. The net connection seems to be fine (I've downloaded some games from both GOG and Humble, and streamed a few videos on YouTube).I figured this could either be a compatability issue with the OS or that the laptop is too old or low spec.Īs I mentioned, I dont really expect to use steam much with this old bucket of bolts, but as I am intending to learn my way about linux (and in this case Zorin OS) I think troubleshooting this could be a good step to understanding the system a little better, so if anybody has any ideas I'd appreciate the help. After installing the client, signing in and updating, the client pops out a message of being unable to connect to the servers. While I dont expect it to be of much use for gaming (beyond dosbox games perhaps), I thought it would be interesting to take a look at my Steam library and see whats natively available within it for Linux. So far almost everything has been running smoothly enough. Recently I dug out an old toshiba satellite laptop (from 2008 I think O_o) and decided to install Zorin OS on it.

Over the last year or so I've been dabbling with various Linux distros via live USBs.
