[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 639904, member: 24160"] In Disk Utility you will want to highlight the "Drive" - not one of the partitions ... see pic. Then do an Erase and Partition in order to create a single partition on the drive. [IMG]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8524&d=1208825576[/IMG] If you highlight only one of the partitions on the drive, it will only erase and reformat that partition. Selecting the drive will erase and the whole drive. Then go to the Partition tab and have it just create a single partition using the whole drive. [B]And make sure you're not selecting your internal drive here!!!!!![/B] [ATTACH=full]8524[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
