Firstly, I really apologize for what I've been doing so far on my MacBook Pro 2015.
I was trying to install a Kali dual boot on my Mac, and this is what I did before my MacBook didn't boot up my startup disk:
I started Kali in live mode and used a tool called
gparted
to shrink the disk, so I could have a little space to install Kali.I didn't try to shrink the main disk but the other disk that has "MacOS journal plus volume" HFS+, labeled "Mandel".
When
gparted
was done, I restarted my Mac and booted into macOS.I fired up Terminal and ran this command:
diskutil list
to list all the available disks in the system.
I resized the main
disk0s1
partition, which is the Macintosh disk, by running this command:diskutil resizeContainer /dev/disk0s1 160gb
to reduce the disk space from 161gb to 160gb.
When it was complete, I typed
diskutil list
and spotted FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF in both
disk0s1
anddisk0s2
.(
disk0s2
is the one I rangparted
on, while disk0s1 is the one I'm trying to resize with Terminal.)
I noticed the startup disk wouldn't boot my Mac, since FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is a sign of scratch, and I ordered an external hard drive that has 320gb space, and I'm trying to install OS X 10.11 El Capitan on the external drive, but it get an error that says that the operation needs additional things to install. I realized it needs SATA the ln quickly I plug in the cable and it start installing until I'm out of packets (data)
Anyway, I haven't installed El Capitan yet, and if there is any other idea I can take to just start up the disk, it should be better. I've tried a lot of different ways like this tool in Kali called testdisk
.
I can see my disk in the machine, but I don't know how I can boot my Mac again to just go back to my Mac main Desktop.
