That seemed to go well but it's been no progress was made after 2 full days of a black screen with a white spinning wheel so I shut it back down and let it start up normally. I found an article that recommended rebuilding mbr_cache (.

I somehow ended up restarting in some sort of terminal mode.

I selected the only available disk received an error: "You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk. First Aid indicated the volume could not be verified, gave a file system check exit code of 8, and indicated that the First Aid process had failed.Īt one point I ended up on a screen to Choose Startup Disk.
