[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1178780, member: 38928"] Hold down option/alt when starting your Mac. You'll get an option to boot to OSX. Once in there use the bootcamp assistant to delete and then re-create your bootcamp partition. Restart installing Windows 7. You'll get to the part where it wants to know which disk there's an advanced option that lets you format the disk (make sure you choose the bootcamp disk).
