Hello there, elixir_125.

Looks like you're wanting to reformat the hard drive on your MacBook to delete the Bootcamp partition. The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to do this:

How to reinstall OS X on your Mac

Wipe your drive and install OS X

Generally, you don't need to erase your startup disk to reinstall OS X. The OS X Installer is designed to allow you to perform an installation in place during the same version or earlier versions of Mac OS X. If you transfer your Mac to a new owner, you can clear your integrated boot disk before you reinstall OS X.

Important: Before you remove and reinstall, back up your important files. If you are using a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, make sure that the power adapter is connected and plugged all by performing the following steps.

You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

  1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
  3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
  4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
  5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
  6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
  8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
  9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
  10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

Additional options

If you want to reinstall the version of Mac OS X included with your Mac, or if you have to reformat your entire startup disk, press Command + Option + R to start instead. This starts your Mac recovery of the Internet.

If you have more than one partition (like Boot Camp) and you want to delete the complete startup disk, you can use disk utility to remove the partitions or re-partition your hard drive. Start up your Mac in recovering from Internet, then use utility to repartition your boot disk drive until delete you it. Make sure that you back up important data from all partitions before repartitioning of a disc.

Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

See you soon.

  • Satellite A210-184: How can I restore the OS?

    Hmm... strange...

    anyway... I bougth this computer a few years ago, and now I want to format it, but since the CD drive broke down near after buying the computer ive not been able to do a restore using my CD

    So I borrowed an external Cd-rom drive... and yet it does not start from him...
    I tried all the possible solutions can be found on the internet, and yet it is not possible...

    When I try to restore from a previous backup, I can't restore factory default, even when I choose the partition hidden... as there is no files on it... apparently its empty...

    I tried the press C, 0, repair F8 and everything... won't let me...
    When I reach the menu and press the last option "restore windows to defautl" it just says: "If the files are damaged or corrupt, please use Witch of the cd provided with your computer..." This option is to press OK (not then like some said guides)... and brings back me to the original menu...

    I tried the "full pc recovery", but I get the message "theres no directory valid blah blah blah, insert the CD rigth and or a HARD drive or select the backup location ', but it won't let me select any other directory...

    So overall...

    Cannot restore from the hidden partition and cannot restore from cd when even he supposed to work...
    Cannot install xp on it, Vista is blocked... and cannot restore factory default...

    So overall... I received a computer witch is more or less just useless in vu and im really consider throw it...

    I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...

    Hi dude

    > I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...
    I put t agree with you.

    First of all I m owner of the satellite A210 as well and my laptop work properly since the first day.

    My A210 was not equipped with HARD drive recovery option, but there was a tool preinstalled called creative recovery disk Toshiba that helps create the recovery disk.

    If you want to retrieve the laptop, you need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

    If you are not able to boot from the disc then your ODD (CD/DVD) drive may be defective.
    This means that you need to replace the ODD.

    But note; not all dimensions are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings
    And this isn't just a case for Toshiba laptop, but for all mobile phones from different manufacturers!
    Ratings slimline don t support no rider, but are controlled by the firmware software and, therefore, you should choose one compatible

    You can also read a user manual are enough details and information about the recovery process so well in most cases, reading allows you to get more information

  • Restore the partition from the Satellite Pro A200 recovery

    Hello

    I accidentally deleted the 5 GB recovery partition on my Satellite Pro A200. I have since recovered (and the data inside) and tried to create my discs of recovery using the "Recovery Disc Creator', but it is to say that it cannot find the recovery partition :(

    I tried fishing by the ini files for recovery disc creator find where he seeks the score, but could not find anything...

    One thing I noticed is that now it is recovered, it appears as a NTFS fs (I think that before it was an unknown FS type?) and volume label "HDDRECOVERY".

    Any ideas on how I can either:

    (a) wrong recovery tool by using the recovery partition
    (b) to make the score look exactly as it did before I deleted it, so I can use the tool as it is.

    Would really appreciate any help - want to make these recovery disc for my vista ultimate before I go around whacking backtrack top :) and dicking

    Hello

    > accidentally deleted the recovery partition of 5 GB on my Satellite Pro A200. Since I got (and the data inside)
    I wonder how you restored the deleted partition. Perhaps the recovery settings partition are not the same that before and, therefore, the "Recovery Disc Creator' doesn t work properly.

    Unfortunately, I think you will not be able to fool the recovery tool, if the recovery partition cannot be found.
    You can rename only the partition NTFS FS. This can be done in the disk management console.
    But I don t think this will solve this problem.

    It seems that you have to reinstall the whole OS using the CD of restoration of Toshiba or the original CD of Microsoft Vista

  • HP ProBook 650 G1 L4A21UT #ABA: windows 10 update and restore the partition

    I have recently updated from Win 7 to 10 to win. I'm assuming that the Win 7 recovery partition was intact. Is this a problem?

    Also, when I restarted after the upgrade, accelerometerST.exe "not found."

    I googled for it and found the link to 10 to win, but I was unable to download.

    Should I just ignore the missing .exe?

    Kind regards

    Joe (aka Malcolm)

    @K8MP

    Creating recovery media is something done before the partition is non-functional.

    The 'Upgrade' comes with the ability to 'come back' to your operating system already installed.  There is a time limit: If you want to "go back", you must do so within the 30 (or 31) days from the date / time of the migration to Windows 10.

    The 'go back' is a provided Windows mechanism - it seems that the method works (to restore the previous operating system / full environment) most of the time.  The 'go back' method does not work, you prefer should be prepared to install the operating system.

    Now that you have your digital license of Windows 10 (also known as the 'right'), you can "go back" or reinstall Windows 10 at a later date.  Your license for Windows 10 "sticks", in other words, Microsoft a record or your license so you can return to / install Windows 10 on this same machine.

    Update Windows 10 and HP System Recovery

    Your Systemis Windows 10 drivers - it is a good indicator that the computer runs Windows 10 with less problems if the system was not supported for the new OS.

    If you decide to stay on Windows 10, consider using the image / ghosting software to create a "recovery disc" disc.

  • Windows 8-How do to restore the image after accidentally formatting disc of 8500 XPS?

    I have a XPS 8500 with windows preinstalled 8. I tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 on it. When I partitioned the drive, I accidentally form the entire disk. Then I could not reboot to Windows 8. I don't have any backup or restore media. How to restore the original image? Thank you very much.

    Hi scorpian1988,

    You will need perform a clean install of Windows 8 by using installation media, because the partition containing the original image is deleted when the entire disk is formatted. Please reply to this message with the system Service tag (including the name on the details of the accounts and contacts) via private Message, so that I can check the details of the guarantee and provide the options available.

  • How free space on the partition system reserved when the usual FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL command does not work?

    When you try to make the system images, I found that the system reserved (100 MB) partition can be a problem if it has less than 50 MB of free space.  In my case it was after execution of FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL/d/n and 34 MB free disk space is only 40 MB.  I also tried without the flag/n.

    I had just restored the system from an image so I felt comfortable to make new changes.  I deleted the fonts and directories of different language from the startup directory (the directory of fonts took about 10 MB).

    I see a file name {hex 64 bit I think} in the System Volume Information directory, which was 32MB in size.  I tried to remove it but no luck.

    After you remove the fonts, and the other languages, I had a lot of free space to perform the system image.  I'm not comfortable actually using this image, go ahead yet, but I'm looking for someone who might know what is and isn't OK to do with this partition.  I would have done it 150 MB when I installed everything first if I had an idea I was going to suffer like that on a meager 18 MB.

    Thank you.

  • How to automatically restore the session after a crash/update / without asking me if I want to restore it?

    Hello, there are times that my Firefox crashes (well, it happens to all of us who use it to some extent) or updates asking to restart. I would like to know if there is an option that allows you to restore the previous session automatically without asking me even. It would be very useful for reasons. I had this kind of problem a couple of times ending me be upset. Sometimes I misclicked and lost all my important tabs. Other times my firefox has crashed/shifted on after reboot and guess what sound restart still has not even asking me if I wanted to restore my session crashed.

    Thank you in advance.

    Cesarius Hi, I think I understand, but I have not explained completely.

    The browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference is to avoid an infinite loop. The default value 1 means an attempt to restore the session automatically once and if it fails (for example, it crashes before it can finish to restore), then display the "embarrassing". You could try to increase the value of 2 or 3 and see if it works on the second or third time. If you still see the screen "This is awkward" after a crash, Firefox still does not make a failback.

    You can also check if there is a file user.js in your profile folder. A user.js file is a file of optional parameters that Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings saved in your previous session. Unless you create a user.js file yourself, you can usually just remove it. This article includes a section on the hunt for a possible user.js file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Note: by default, Windows hides the .js file extension. Precise work with file names, I suggest setting windows to show all file extensions. This article has the steps: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
