Hi, can I force a internet recovery, even when I do have a recovery partition on my hard disk from which I could install a new system? I've been in the situation last week, that the recovery partition of my Mac Book contained the last public beta of Yosemite, but I wanted to reinstall the system with the stable release of 10.10. Unfortunatly I've found no solution how to force a fresh installation of the stable release because always the beta from the recovery partition was used :-(. I've found also no way to force internet recovery in this situation, also I was not able to delete the recovery partition :-(.
