System installer thinks my main drive is my time Machine backup and won't install.
So, I asked this question last week, never found out the answer. I tried to upgrade- from Lion to Mavericks, and got stopped because of this:
So, I tried to reinstall Lion, to see if I could go back to original System, but darned if I didn't get the same message.
I do not use my main disk for time machine backups, I have an external that I use. So - How do I convince a system installer that it's getting the wrong idea about my main drive. I have gone into Time machine, and made sure the prefs were correct, I went into Library and trashed prefs, just in case I might have something screwy there, all to no avail. Anybody got a clue for me here?
