[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1581665, member: 42497"] You cannot erase a drive you are booted from. Mavericks has a Recovery partition. To boot from that reboot and hold Command +R after the chime. From there you can go to Disk Utility, erase and format there. Then connect the Mavericks USB thumb drive, reboot, hold down 'C' after the chime, and Install. Then update to OS X.9.2. [/QUOTE]
