Hello Bob,
You'll need to boot from your install DVD to format or partition the start-up
drive.

Actually the last paragraph should read that it is the "Partition" that is the
startup disk and cannot be erased.

Thanks, Dean. Problem now in Disk Utility is to select a disk (drive) where
"Partition" shows and Volume Scheme and Volume Information boxes are not greyed
out. After sitting awhile another entry appears below Macintosh HD and my
optical drive: Bob McDaniel's MacBook Pro, and indented below, time capsule
backups. I sure don't want to erase the backups!
It also says that the currently selected disk (200.05 GB FUJITSU MMY 22) is
the start-up disk and it cannot be erased. BTW when I select "Macintosh HD" the
"Partition" button does not appear.Bob
