[QUOTE="Vilarix, post: 1444060, member: 271264"] Hello! I wanted to do a clean install so I did a Time Machine backup, booted on my USB of Mountain Lion, went into Disk Utility and tried to erase my hard drive. It failed saying there was "not enough space", I didn't read it entirely because I thought it was a "success" message... I thought I just had to do it again but I don't have the option to erase anymore (only two tabs, the main one and the "partition"), I can't boot on it, after the login it loads forever with a crossed out circle instead of the apple. I can't even reinstall OS X since it is not in the list of available disks. I can't even use my Time Machine backup since I can't select the disk where the data will be sent. I'm ****ed :\ Is there a solution or an alternative to Disk Utility? I don't care if I lose my data since I wanted to format the disk. Thanks a lot for your help! PS: I did a repair on the disk, it says everything looks OK... [/QUOTE]
