For some reason Grub (I'm assuming) won't boot OSX right.

turn off machine
reboot holding 'Option' key
Choose OSX

Disk Utility in OSX - Erase that disk and delete partition. Drag your OSX one back over it. :)

what disks does it list? You may have to unmount them. It took some fumbling on my part to get mine back to full OSX.

When you select diskos7, is it black or grey? select it and go to the Erase tab and try to format it as Mac OS Journaled then once it's done, click on the main drive and under the Partition tab, minus the space for diskos7.
