[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1543347, member: 46727"] If your machine came pre-installed with Lion, we still should be able to clear things out with a Snow Leopard disk. You can't install Snow Leopard, but it should work to boot the machine and remove Windows. You can't remove Windows from Disk Management because it won't allow it as long as the drive is mounted and Windows is running. You could remove Windows with your Windows 7 boot disk but that doesn't help because it will leave your hard drive as formatted to NTFS. We can't even use another Mac because your MacBook Pro does not have a Firewire port that we could connect to. [/QUOTE]
