disk utility

Hi guys, I'm having an issue where after I boot and check disk utility, it tells me that all my hard drives (boot drive and 2 storage drives) have corrupt EFI partitions and need to be repaired. A couple of weeks back, I assume it was still doing this and I didn't realise, it became *too...

Because of how I have my HD and SSD set up, I am unable to use Disk Utility's Repair Permissions feature. I have my SSD mounted at / and my HD mounted at /Users/. This is so all my user data is on the HD, and the OS and apps are on my small SSD. This has worked flawlessly since I have set it...

Hi, I have a question. In step 4 of the installation guide, it says this: ​ Disk 1 is my USB :P So, my question is do I have to clear out Disk 0 completely to be able to dual-boot Windows and OS X? If not, what steps are required in order to make Windows and OS X boot together? P.S. Yes...
