Unable to reformat my boot partition when booted into recovery
I need to reformat my Mac OS X partition for a clean install and when I boot into the recovery partition to do so I am unable to erase the partition. Some times in disk utility it shows as greyed out (unmounted) and will not allow me to mount. Then other times it will show mounted and I will be unable to unmount and erase. Any body dealt with this before. Help is much appreciated.
