"Kernel Panic" and OS X System Death
Sometime just before or possibly after installing Sierra, my MacBook Pro (13-inch, early 2011) seems to have contracted an Armageddon Worm that at first made the computer run extremely slowly and eventually forced it to shut down repeatedly "because of a problem," as the error message said, and try to re-start. During each re-start, the interface was broken-up by what looked like the terminal screen (white-on-black) that seemed to be the same each time. As most of it was code, I couldn't decipher it; and it only stayed on for about three seconds before vanishing. However, I could see the phrase "kernel panic" amid the code, but as I don't know what that means or how to fix it, there was nothing I could do. After maybe three or four attempted re-starts, the computer died.
When I booted to Recovery using the original 2011 Snow Leopard OS X system disk, I discovered that the HDD had been renamed "INCOMPATIBL" and was formatted with an MS-DOS FAT32 configuration. Also, it was 100% filled (it had been about 60% filled when the apocalypse struck). The disk is now un-bootable, un-mountable, un-writable, and accordingly to Mac Disk Utility, un-repairable.
Has anyone else suffered a total HDD wipe-out like this? Does anyone know how it happens?
I'm assuming there is no miracle fix that can bring this HDD back to life and restore all those countless files that are now locked. I don't know who did this or how they thought they would persuade me to send them ransom -- as if I would trust them to restore my disk and files after they victimized me in this reprehensible way! Anyway, I doubt those blackmailing thieves have the ability to restore the HDD and those files. They can destroy, alright, but they can't create. In fact, I doubt anyone can undo the damage. It would be lovely to think that the software engineers at Apple can write an app that would fix the disk and kill the Worm, but I doubt they are that smart, either. With the HDD completely shut-down and non-responsive, I don't believe anyone has the genius to save it.
It could be that your hard drive just failed.
A Snow Leopard install disk likely will not be able to read a drive updated for Sierra.
Also, there is no "recovery" on a Snow Leopard Install DVD. Recovery is a partition created on your startup drive. It only exists in Lion or later.
Did you actually boot into the Recovery partition (cmd-R), or did you actually boot into the Snow Leopard install DVD?
Have you tried Safe Mode?
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
How about Internet Recovery (cmd-opt-R on restart). You would have had to installed the Internet Recovery Firmware at some point for that to work.
Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support
Can you boot into the Recovery Partition (command - R on a restart), use Disk Utility to reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS?
