[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1625850, member: 46727"] Even if you had your external hard drive, you're not going to be able to move those partitions around without losing data. You're not just dealing with two partitions; you're actually dealing with 4 partitions. Remember that both Yosemite and Mavericks have recovery partitions associated with them. There's also the two very small EFI partitions that control booting. If you really wish to downgrade to Mavericks, backup all your data to an external hard drive, wipe the drive clean, format it and prepare it as one partition, install Mavericks, and restore your data from backup.
