[*]Open Boot Camp Assistant. [*]Select “Create or remove a Windows partition” and click Continue. [*]Select the disk with Windows on it. [*]Select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue. [/LIST] This text is taken directly from the BootCamp PDF manual supplied with the BootCamp 1.3 setup file. I would imagine that removing a partition would be no more difficult than that for any future version of Mac O/S. After all: it's a Mac.
