Recovery system can't be created
Please help!
I downloaded Lion but I get the screen "Install Failed" around 31 minutes. It tells me that OSX can't be installed because "a recovery system can't be created". I went through Disc Utility and cleaned things up with the repair function and tried again, no luck. Then I noticed that apart from my standard Apple journaled partition on my internal HD, there was another 30 GB partition assigned to Windows. I have no idea how it got on there as I don't use Windows on this computer. Perhaps a vestige from Boot Camp? Here's the question: Can I just delete that part of the HD and try again? If so, how do I go about deleting that WIndows partition without disturbing the rest of the HD contents? Is it even worth the effort? I just wish Apple had foreseen this problem as from what I have read, I am not the only one suffering from this glitch. Thanks for your help as always!!
