Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
1. Boot from the external drive and launch Disk Utility. 2. Interact with the table, choose the very first item which is the disk itself, then stop interacting. 3. Select the partition tab. 4. In the layout pop-up button, choose 1 partition or however many partitions you require. 5. Click options button and make sure guid is selected. Click ok button. 6. Click apply button. Click partition button. Hope this helps.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Ok. Have you tried doing a disk verify and or disk repair on the disk itself? This can be done within the first aid tab. This may require booting from an external drive.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Kliphton Senior is having the same issues with partitioning as I am experiencing. In terms of accessibility the partitioning panel is a joke. Scratch that, partitioning on the Mac in general is a joke when using the internal hard drive.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Actually I have no issues. All I do isboot in to the bootable mavericks install, choose the root, that is the top level of the drive, choose partition and choose 1. it's done and takes for me about 2 minutes to partition a 250 gig drive. It really is easy and is very much doable. I say you had something corrupted someware and you need to redu your boot disk. Take care.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Michael, Since you can boot from an external drive, start Disk Utility, and choose the internal drive. Don't choose one of the partitions, choose where it says numbers or the name of the drive. Next choose the partitions and choose 1 partition.
