During a major incident (entirely my fault mac is still awesome lol) I have installed a windows boot sector over the mac one. I can still boot but its very hard and takes about 15mins a time now.
Apple support don't know lmao, so how do I write a mac boot sector back?
(it was a trigger happy vista disk, "oh I cant read your boot sector, nvm I'll write you a new one", Dam vista lol)

I can but I don't really want too, I just joined a mac forum and getting a bit of help with it over there. Reinstall solves 99% of problems but I wanna learn how to do things the right way
I'll post the fix here when I know

Yeah to be honest If some one posted this problem I'd proberly tell them to do that. But the fix all you have to do it go into system preferences, boot devices and click on your hard drive and it rebuilds it instantly |
