[QUOTE="CaptainMorgan, post: 1659045, member: 294665"] Strangest day ever! I tried using terminal again to set up debug menu on disk utility three more times and although terminal had confirmed the process was complete it was still not available in DU. Although I had previously tried reinstalling Win onto the damaged partition in Bootcamp it would only install on a new partition in the Mac OS undamaged partition, so when I used BC to uninstall Win again it only reinstated the Mac OS partition and still left the other damaged one in tact. After failing to set up my debug menu in DU I tried for one more time installing and uninstalling Win again. YAY ....... this time for some reason it worked and I am now back with a 500Gb one partition disk. Thanks so much for all the help and suggestions from you guys, my lesson is well and truly learned, always delete stuff the correct way. I can now get the Mac set up for my wife. (You'll all be glad to know that this is something that I do know how to do correctly.) Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
