[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1180964, member: 24160"] If you have not used BootCamp to partition the drive - boot the machine from your OS X disc. Go into Utilities - Disk Utility and drag the partition down to fill the whole drive - then click Apply. This is a pretty safe operation, but please back it up first. [IMG]https://img.skitch.com/20110205-bhebgjeyecf9ctfuhqttkxw37p.jpg[/IMG] That's the problem with restoring from most image files. They will only restore to an identically sized partition. If that partition was created with BootCamp - do not do the above - use BootCamp to restore it to a single partition. [/QUOTE]
