Q: No Core Storage to install re-install Yosemite on iMac
Hi guys,
I really need a hand here I'm out of my depth!
It all started when I wanted to use bootcamp to upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8.1. I was having problems getting bootcamp to install 8.1 of a USB so I stupidly erased the old bootcamp partition and then couldn't get rid of the old bootcamp setup.
Since then I have messed up my core storage and can't re-install Yosemite 10.10 as there is no Macintosh HD showing to install the OS to?
Not sure what I have done but looks like I need to start from scratch whilst still having the ability to use the recovery utility (CMD + R).
I do have a Time Machine back-up available but not really worried about that right now just want my hard drives back to default so that I can install Yosemite and Bootcamp.
I have included the output from "diskutil cs list" and "diskutil list"
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Matt
