I installed Linux Mint in a 150 GB partition. I sopped using it because of some hardware problems. But when I try to erase the partition with Disk Utility by using the ' - ' sign, it says I need to erase with HFS+ journaling. How do i do that?? thanks

You need to boot into OS X. Open Disk Utility. Select the Linux volume in the DU sidebar, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window, set the format type to Mac OS Extended, Journaled, then click on the Erase button. Hopefully, now you will be able to delete the Linux partition.


If you cannot (and you may not be able) then you have to repartition the entire drive from scratch or boot Linux from a distro DVD and remove the Linux partition on the internal drive then format the space as an OS X volume.
