[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1217201, member: 24160"] Sorry, but do not use Disk Utility to remove a BootCamp partition. This can and does cause issues if/when you want to create a new BootCamp partition because you have not dealt with the changes that were made to the boot record using this method. The correct way for removing Bootcamp partitions is the same way it was created. Open up Bootcamp Assistant, click on the option to Create/restore a Windows partition and restore it from there. This will, all in one step, delete the partition, restore the space to your OS X partition and make the necessary changes to the boot record. [URL="http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/01/26/how-to-delete-a-boot-camp-partition/"]Tutorial with pics.[/URL] And before you even do that, I'd be heading back to the school and let them sort it out related to the key.
