So I have a Mac and have installed bootcamp (of course). I ran into many complications, Realtek Audio stopped installing, etc., and I managed to quit the bootcamp installer instead of quitting the Realtek download. As a result, I am unable to switch between drives (OS X and Windows). I cannot seem to delete bootcamp either; you must be on OS X to make that change. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Caligurl54,
1) You should be able to switch over to OS X by holding Option key while your Mac reboots (just hit Option when you hear the chime and then select the Mackintosh Disk.
2) Do not delete Bootcamp drive; instead try to repair the installation by following the procedure described here: http://www.mac-forums.com/running-w...565-bootcamp-help.html?highlight=#post1698044 (starting from message #5). You will need a flash drive to prepare the required set of bootcamp drivers (by means of Bootcamp Assistant).

Realtek are a pain in the you-know-what. When in Windows do a search for direct downloads. Also do a search of the forums using Realtek to see how others have recently solved this problem.
