Wow you are the tech guru for real. Finally, after hours and hours of trying to solve the flashing icon, it only took writing the words 'MacOS' to get things going. No other video or Google could make my computer work again. Thank you and much love. Liked and subscribed 👍

I watched so many videos before this one trying to resolve the issue because I did not have a drive come up when I was installing OS X Maverick. It finally worked when he said you had to erase and rename the drive in Disk Utility. Other people said that I would have to replace my hard drive or hard drive cable! Thank you so much!
