[QUOTE="Vertigo68, post: 1545938, member: 313765"] I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Run Terminal from the install DVD. diskutil listIn the list produced, find the identifier of the drive you want to erase. It'll be something like disk0, disk1, etc. Then... diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ "Macintosh HD" disk0 Replace 'disk0' with the disk identifier you figured out earlier, and you can replace "Macintosh HD" with whatever you want your volume to be named. If it has spaces, you MUST keep it in quotes. Otherwise the command will error out. Fantastique!!!! [/QUOTE]
