[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1601126"] By right-clicking and following the links I was able to view the images. From what I can see the drive is NAMED Macintosh HD2, and has two partitions of HD and HD2. The grey out means, I think, that for some reason OSX thinks the drive cannot be repartitioned. At this point you may have to backup the Mavericks partition to an external drive and then nuke and pave (total reinstall, repartition, reformat) the drive and restore the backup. NOTE: To do that, you'll need an external bootable drive or connection to the internet to do an Internet reinstall of Mavericks. [/QUOTE]
