Hi all, Since we’re on the discussion of partitions, I unfortunately made the mistake of getting the Yosemite dev preview and made a new partition on the same drive as my BootCamp partition. Once the public beta came out, I attempted to remove this partition because I learned that I can’t have more than three partitions on the same disk, and there is a hidden partition called EFI that doesn’t show up anywhere except Terminal with the diskutil list command. I’d love to be able to reformat all partitions so that I have a blank slate, install Mavericks, and then install the public beta on another partition and I’ll wait until the beta cycle is over for Bootcamp. Bootcamp is complaining now because my startup partition isn’t a single partition. So basically what it’s telling me is that I could only have Mavericks and Bootcamp, don’t make another partition. Of course, when making a new partition there is a warning that says that it “may” mess with Bootcamp. I figured that “may” means exactly that, that it’d be worth a shot. So now I no longer have a recovery partition, but that’s Yosemite related. How can I format the entire drive so that Mavericks creates a new partition and just start clean? Thank you.
