Hi. I inadvertently deleted the Mac and EFI partitions of an HD inserted on a Macbook Pro (2009). Fortunately I have the Linux one (with Debian XFCE) that I am writing from. I tried to recover with Gparted (by installing gpart), but after more than an hour I stopped having no recovery signal. Then I installed test disk and this is the screen. <TestDisk 7.1, Data Recovery Utility, July 2019 Christophe GRENIER <gren...@cgsecurity.org> https://www.cgsecurity.org

What can I do to reset Mac OS? I don't dare shut down because I'm afraid it won't reboot anymore having wiped the EFI partition as well. How can I do without loosing the Mac data? Thanks in advance Francesco
