Hi,

I’m not Mac expert but it’s probably ok to run a live version of Linux from your machine to run the fix.
Regards,

Mike

I have to run linux from usb on mac because it does not detect a HD however in linux it shows the mac hd there.

I was previously using “hfsplus” in Linux, but “hfsprogs” seemed to do the trick for reading the drive. My brother-in-law said the Apple Store told him his HD was dead, but I was able to fix his drive using your steps. Much appreciated!

Sorry to have left this so long. Unfortunately, I can’t help you as I don’t have access to a Mac. I only posted this to record a method that worked for me.
