[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1581847, member: 46727"] I don't think that will work because your Recovery partition is in the way. The empty partition (formerly Windows) is the last partition on the disk and Disk Utility won't allow you to drag past the Recovery partititon. Give it a try anyway to see what happens. Make sure you have a backup. Other Option: Make a Time Machine backup of your Macintosh HD (OS X), boot to the Recovery partition, erase the disk, reinstall Mavericks, restore from Time Machine. Let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
