[QUOTE="Spang, post: 1352877, member: 184420"] So, I set up a 50g Boot Camp partition to experiment with Linux several months ago. At the time, I was using Snow Leopard. The experiment failed and I wanted to delete the partition, but Boot Camp wouldn't let me. Recently, I decided to upgrade to Lion. That was more successful. Boot Camp still won't let me delete the partition and Disk Utility won't, either (there's no partition tab). When I installed Lion, it warned me that, something to the effect of, because of blah, blah, blah certain things won't work, or something. I'm finding that those certain things are kind of important. I think I need to erase my hard drive, reinstall Lion and restore my backup, etc., which will hopefully delete the Boot Camp partition in the process. Also, in addition to my Time Machine backup, I have a SuperDuper! backup. Which backup should I use? [/QUOTE]
