How can I erase a Boot Camp partition on my HD when the request is denyied saying Boot Camp partition couldn't be erased because "a disk with a mount point is required?"
How are you trying to delete the partition?
Started the MacBookPro holding down command and control keys. Came to Mac OS X Utilities window. Selected Disk Utility. It showed the factory installed disk (320GB) with two partitions, the main HD with 284GB and Boot Camp with 34GB. Selected the main HD (284GB) and erased it using the option "Erase Free Space". Once that was completed successfully I attempted erasing the Boot Camp using the same procedure and got the answer "Secure Erase Free Space Failed" because of the error "A disk with a mount point is required."
The way to remove a Boot Camp partiton and return the disk to a single partition is to start Boot Camp Assistant and select the menu iyem to remove Windows and return the disk to a single partition.
Tht was the wrong procedure, I would backup what you have and erase & restore your disk, next time use Boot Camp to make and remove Boot Camp partitions.
BEST!
If i wanted to keep the Windows Partition, but remove the Mac Partition, how would i go about that ??
