Windows 10 safe mode from usb2/14/2024 However, you can force the computer to enter Safe Mode by interrupting the boot process three times in a row by holding the power button down, automatically triggering Windows Recovery. Some unbootable computers freeze on the Windows splash screen. Method 1: Enter Safe Mode From Windows Recovery There are two relatively easy ways to get into it. Thanks.You might have problems entering Safe Mode if your computer doesn't boot. It is as if the Mac's firmware has been zapped to an extent that it doesn't recognize *anything* Mac. So even if I wanted to format/reinstall MacOS on this MacBook Air, I am at a loss how to do so since I cannot even boot from an external source (USB or internet). However, when I reset the P-RAM, I did get the Apple logo upon reboot instead of the spinning circle, only for it to disappear after a few seconds the Mac then restarted, Apple logo again, restart, Apple logo, endless cycle. Placing the Mac in Target Disk mode renders it undetectable by other Macs.Ĩ- Resetting the power management did not help. The USB and FireWire icons appeared on the screen floating around as normal, but the Mac is not recognizable when I plug it into 2 different Macs that I tried (it is like I never connected anything no HD icon, no nothing). As such, I cannot access Internet Recovery from this Mac!ħ- Lastly, I turned the Mac on while pressing the T key to get into Target Disk mode. I tried this in two different locations (two different Wifi routers), and got the same result. Once the progress bar completed ~15 min later, I did not see the menu instead, the system rebooted and the same spinning globe appeared asking again for the WiFi name/password - and this cycle again kept repeating. I entered these and the normal progress bar appeared with the "This may take a while." message. The spinning globe appeared and asked me for the Wifi name and password. I cannot boot the Mac using an external USB startup disk.Ħ- I started up the Mac while pressing Command-Option-R to get to the Internet Recovery. When I select the USB startup disk, it restarts, and I get the momentary spinning circle/reboot cycle again. I then started up the Mac pressing Option/Alt, and I saw all three options ("Macintosh HD", "Windows", and the Monterrey startup disk). I cannot boot into the Recovery partition.ĥ- I created a bootable USB drive (using Monterrey) and plugged it into the MacBook. If I choose Macintosh HD, I get the spinning circle/reboot cycle.Ĥ- If I restart the Mac while pressing command-R to get to the recovery drive, I again just get the spinning circle/reboot cycle. The Boot Camp control panel showed up, and I could select MacOS from there.Ģ- When booting up into MacOS, I get a momentary spinning circle (dots) after which the computer reboots - this cycle keeps repeating itself to no end.ģ- When booting the MacBook while pressing Option/Alt, I *do* see two partitions: "Macintosh HD" and "Windows". I did find the Boot Camp app under "Program Files" and ran it. From the Windows desktop that does work, I noted that there is no D: drive (no MacOS partition), and there is no "Boot Camp" app in the Task Bar ^ menu. One works and launches the Windows 10 desktop, the other produces (Windows-based) error messages and offers to fix the corrupted drive instead. He gave it to me to have a look, and here's what I found:ġ- Windows boots fine, but there are two Windows 10 installations to choose from on startup. Since doing so, he has been unable to boot back into MacOS. My friend's teenage son installed Boot Camp on his 2019 MacBook Air. Cannot boot or recover MacOS (even from USB installer drive or internet) after Boot Camp installation Hi all - I have searched the forum but (so far) cannot find any answers to this particular problem.
