Macbook Air Drive Won T Boot Up After Repair Hard Drive Is Locked Macbook Air 11 Mid 2011

Chosen Solution

Hi, I recently repaired my old Macbook Air keyboard. After putting it back together I am getting a white screen with Apple logo and spinning circle. After pressing CMD+R and trying to repair disks in Disk Utility I get this message. Disk Utility stopped repairing “Untitled” Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.” Error log shows “incorrect block count” for “kernel.log”, “secure.log, 2015.01.01.asl”, “2015.01.01.G80.asl” and “2015.01.01.U8.G80.asl”. Also it shows “invalid index key” When I try to reinstall OSX Lion, it says I cannot because the hard drive is locked. I have no important data on here, just want to be able to get the disk to boot. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @eddywilde I have a feeling, by chance, the SSD is failing. Perform further diagnostic test to check. I know some flash memory, if there are alot of corruption blocks, it may force to read only. If you have a spare SSD, suggest you to test out MacBook Air 11" Mid 2011 Solid-State Drive Replacement
