| Apr 26, 2016 at 13:12 | comment | added | sanjihan | yes I do, but it is greyed out. I ran First Aid on APPLE SSD which is a parent folder of Macintosh HD. | |

| Apr 26, 2016 at 12:40 | comment | added | sanjihan | Agree with you! Buy there is no Macintosh HD in Volumes. just OS X Base System and .Trashes. I thought that OS X Base System is a parent of Macintosh HD. Just found out it isnt. I will procede with First Aid on Macintosh HD. Mybe that will list it in Volumes | |

@sanjihan, It doesn't matter what directory you're in when starting Terminal in OS X Recovery! You have to navigate to where you want to be and the information I've presented in my answer re: cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/User_Name" worked for me when booting into OS X Recovery. If your internal startup volume was not named Macintosh HD then change the command to what's appropriate.
