Un-Partition Boot Camp

Can anyone explain to me how to erase BOOT CAMP and put the space back into the main hard drive?

Thank you!

Oooops!

BobToMay,

Hey I had already tried erasing THE BOOTCAMP WITH DISK UTILITY and now when I apply the procedure as described your reference, it doesn't work.

Any idea what to do now?

Thanks again for your help.

Yep, the BootCamp Assistant won't work like it should once you go mucking around in Disk Utility. ;D

Where are you (what have you already done) in the process with Disk Utility?

Did you delete the partition or what? A screen shot of the partition tab of Disk Utility would help in telling you what to do next.

Thanks, Brainiac,

I keep getting an error pop up with Disk Utility:

"Volume Erase failed with the error:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Resource is busy.

Any advice, Guru Man?

After you have a current backup of OS X, then you may follow these directions at your own risk.

From OS X:

If you have the icon for the Windows partition on the desktop - right click and select Eject "Windows".

If not, open up Finder - look in the sidebar - right click and select Eject "Windows".

Then open Disk Utility.

(You may need to do this booted from your OS X disc, not while booted into OS X.)

"Black Mask"? Are you a superhero in disguise?

Jokes aside, thanks for this post, I had the same problem.

THANKS TO BOBTOMAY!

Fortunately, after several tries and realizing I was supposed to select the upper level, not subfolder, and restarting and doing it from the MAC OS DVD,

IT FINALLY WORKED!!!

Thank you for the nice, explicit diagram, it was VERY HELPFUL!!

You get 4 GOLD STARS out of a possible 4!! BRAVO!!
