[QUOTE="rman, post: 1393804, member: 23"] Here is my question, when you try to erase the disk. Are you booted on another disk or partition other than the one you wish to erase? What are you doing that is part of the guidelines in the Apple Security Configuration guide? I am hazarding a guess here, that maybe the part that is causing the problem that you are having. As for your account being a member of the staff group, that is normal as suggested. In unix an user account can be a member of multiple groups. What make the admin account special is that it is part of the admin group. Also the untitled partitions look like virtual disk to me. [/QUOTE]
