[QUOTE="dustinhuman, post: 1600966, member: 331764"] So I partitioned my HD to install the Yosemite public beta. But now, in Disk Utility, Macintosh HD 2 is shown as the main partition in the tree. (This is while I'm booted to my main HD) Additionally, I can't simply delete the new partition as I was expecting to be able to. Why does OS X think that Macintosh HD 2 is now my main partition? How can I fix this and delete the Yosemite public beta partition that I created? Additionally, I just booted into the Yosemite pb partition wondering if the reverse would be true(that Macintosh HD might there be listed as my main HD). But, no, the situation is the same there. Although, while booted to Yosemite, it offers the option to delete my main HD partition (Macintosh HD). [/QUOTE]
