Ok here is the deal.
I've read I don't know how many forums and posts on how to fix the problem I'm having with bootcamp not being able to partition my drive. So I'm going to try and backup all of my applications, documents, personal files and settings. Then I'm going to do a clean install of OS X and wipe the HD, use bootcamp then move all my files back.
So here are my questions.
What's the best/easiest/fastest way to backup all of the above aforementioned files to a backup hard drive that already contains backed up files that do not be removed or altered?
How do I wipe/format the hard drive and do a clean install? (I've read that some people have problems to a 100% clean install and I want to make sure that I take all precautions before I do this.)
Any help would be appreciated.
