Blinking question mark when booting, maybe HD damaged?
About two hours ago my MacBook Pro shutdown, as it had no battery left. When I got home I plugged the power cord in and started my Mac up. But instead of the normal startup screen, the only thing I got was a blinking folder with a questionmark.
I did some research and tried booting it up holding down the option key, but instead of the startup manager, Internet Recovery appeared. So I put my OS X Moutain Lion disc in (burned it on a disc) after the blinking folder appeared and it loaded it up. I then tried Startup Disc, but it only shows the OS X Mountain Lion disc and nothing else. Have also tried open Disc Utility, but here it only shows
SuperDrive
Mac OS X Install ESD
--------------------
disk1
Mac OS X Base System
So it seems it can't find the HD. So I'm pretty lost. Read something about it could be the hard disc being dead, or maybe just a cable not sitting right, but I'm am not sure about anything.
So I'm hoping you could tell me what's wrong and hopefully a solution. My warranty has ended, so I cannot take it back.
Thanks in advance.
