Hi Mar
Glad you got it fixed.
I see you sent that from your iPhone.
When you get back to a keyboard, can you give us more details on what you did to fix it?
It was a rather unique problem, and I, for one, am curious.
Don't really understand what you mean by: "The whole drive was reformatted starts with dos command."
Does it still start with a dos command?
Did you use the recovery?
thanks
