ilan Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 21, 2015 #3 Thanx @KMatle but the internet recovery didnot worked. Because you need to have a not writeprotected disk to be able to install on it an OS. And i deleted the macintosh hd so only base os (that is write protected) is left. And creating a new image or disk doesnot work. But after 5 hours and maybe 20 reboots and lot of trying a new disk appeared and i could install the os on it. Anyway thank you for your help. EDIT: now i can code again (b4i) Last edited: Dec 21, 2015
