Hi guys

I've received my new Macbook 2 days ago and did some wrong software installations and set a wrong account name. So thats why I would like to do a new clean install from ML.

I've seen that there are two partitions. Macintosh HD (250GB) and Mac OS X Base System (1,5GB). Can I delete both of them or should the base system persist? Are the account name data etc on the base system partition? Because I would like to give my mac a new account name.

Greetings :)
