I booted into recovery HD mode via cmd-r
and ran repair disk
which failed and prompted me to erase. Since the system worked normally before, I wanted to reboot and save all my files. Now the reboot is stuck during the apple logo. Again, I booted into recovery and tried fsck
via terminal, which told me everything is okay with system abse. But, I still can not boot into OSX.
Is it possible to still get into the OS, or save the data out of recovery? I do have a external HD. Can I somehow backup my data out of recovery?
