[QUOTE="duketv, post: 1634301, member: 341642"] Hi guys, Thanks for the answers, much appriciated! The disk is a 5 year old IDE, so you could be very right that it is showing signs of age. I have no boot disk here, only the recovery partition. I was installing Revit Architecture. It shouldn't really destroy the boot information for OS X, but I think the same as you. Question is, how can I get my drive to format? Only thing I can think of is formatting the bootcamp partition (40gb) and instal a clean OS X on that and from there on hope to get my old partition back with it, but not sure if that would help me any further. Cheers [/QUOTE]
