- I hope you have all important files backed up. If not do so before you try restoring. My Mac guy says please make sure you have the original disks for that computer due to some game Mac plays with only the set sold with Macbook Air works that Macbook. Here is what he gave me to assist you. He said it should make the system read the Complete drive. Before I give you his instructions he said to ask if you had gone into a file in the hard drive called "time Machine" to see if it was turned on as to return the system to factory settings without having to do the following. Maybe a program was hidden that was eating up all the missing area. Any way here is his instructions.
