Q: Boot Camp Assistant can't be used due to ROM Firmware
Hi, I'm running:
OS X: 10.9.5
Build 13F34
Mac Book Pro Mid 2010
Boot-ROM-Version: MBP61.0057.B0F
SMC-Version (System): 1.58f17
Even though alle updates available are installed, my boot camp assistant tells me, that it can't be used due to the ROM Firmware version. That is a huge problem for me, because I want to delete my bootcamp partition and I can't right now, because the only way to delete the partition is via the boot camp assistant while on mac OS X...
Does somebody know how to fix the ROM Firmware issue or a workaround to delete the partition without using the BCA (Boot Camp Assistant) ?
Thanks
