[QUOTE="Spang, post: 1353657, member: 184420"] UPDATE: I was unable to remove the partitions. However, I was able to make a new partition that replaced all of my partitions, and then restore from Time Machine. However, I was unable to log in because of FileVault. So, I did a fresh install, etc., etc., etc. Now I'd like to restore just my documents, music and photos, but I think FileVault is preventing me from doing that, since I'm unable to access any of that stuff when I enter Time Machine. Are there any other solutions? I still have that SuperDuper! backup and I'm back to using Snow Leopard for the time being (10.6.8). P.S. I was able to recover most of my documents from a manual backup and most of my music is backed up via Amazon Cloud. P.S.S. I'm never using FileVault (or Boot Camp) ever again. [/QUOTE]
