The Sierra installation probably messed up the partition scheme, so now the booting firmware cannot find the "good" OSX (10.7.5) - even if it's still there. > It won't boot using any of the short cuts to make it select another drive. I assume you did a backup on an external drive. Did you try to boot from that external drive, holding the Option (Alt) key at boot? If you can, then you can try using Disk Utility to fix your internal HD; you might need to initialize that HD, though (depending on how messed up the partition scheme is). But you better wait for more informed opinions about this matter. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
