nolanjames Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Trying to do a fresh install of OSX since my last installation got corrupted. I would like to just totally erase the drive without having to go into a virtual machine to do it. Would even do a "nuclear option" of using some kind of disk eraser security software. Currently I have a dual boot system. I cannot see the drive to do this in Windows disk management or at least can't do anything with it, and it is not showing up under my computer. Is there any way to do this? Someone indicated the loader may be messing up during install since some left over stuff was left on hard drive. It acts like it is working on the Apple logo and then just shuts down. Didn't have this issue at all during my first install that went perfectly on first try. Nothing has changed in terms of my system specs.
