Repair fully formatted disk on macbook 4,1

forux said:

Hello,


I have macbook 4,1 without efi partition on the head of disk (200Mb).


There are any way to restore efi, or make it bootable in any other way?

I can boot on it via usb-stick with ubuntu.

Many thanks for any help!


P.S. What already done, and dont help:
1. I tried to restore disk with gpart, using gparted (it found nothing)
2. I tried to make apple rescue disk from os x 10.8.3, on running vmware - got this logo on boot: http://www.pcfriends.jp/img/support_mac79.jpg
3. I tried to boot from bootable OS X 10.7 disk, also got http://www.pcfriends.jp/img/support_mac79.jpg
4. Tried to install ubuntu on whole disk, got error "grub can not be installed"

Precisely what are you trying to do? If you are trying to install OS X on a "Real" MacBook, then the methods and tools on this site will not work. Contact Apple Support if you are having problems.
