Hi everyone:
So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheel came up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down the power button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: I also tried to completely erase each partition, and also the whole hard drive itself. Additionally, I tried re-partitioning the hard drive, no success.
Is there any way to reformat without having the drive be mounted?
