Nov 11, 2014 12:58 PM in response to Nielby Don C98,I tried the above instructions and it will not work. I get to the disk utility and what shows is the Macintosh HD and Disk 1 below this it shows OS X Base System when I hold the cursor over it It says start up disk OS X base system. If I click this the format and name and erase at bottom of screen do not allow anything.
If I click on the Macintosh HD It shows Mac OS Extended (journaled) and the name Macintosh HD
am I supposed to reformat the Macintosh HD ??.
