Q: HDD will not format

Hello everyone,

 

I have a MacBook Pro running and I got the following problem.

 

I have 2 partitions, Macintosh HD and Bootcamp. The problem is that my Macintosh HD is lacking storage, so I want to delete my Bootcamp partition, what the Bootcamp-Assistant app won't let me do, because of 'There has been a problem with checking the operating system'. It told me to enter recovery mode and erase the whole drive with the harddrive assistent program.

 

Now the problem is that the program won't let me erase the HD, because of unknown reasons. It won't give a error code or explanation, but just tells me it is not possible.

 

What do I do know?

 

Thanks!

 

Ezra
