[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 586960, member: 38864"] You can delete the partition by using Disk Utility (an OS X utility). Just select your hard drive, select the Windows partition, and delete it. As for reinstalling Windows... since BC is expired, you can't use it to reinstall. Instead of deleting the partition as above, you may be able to reinstall Windows by simply rebooting with the Windows install CD... IF you still have your Boot Camp drivers CD that you made last time. If so, just tell the Windows installer to format your partition and start over. That should take care of the virus issue. Naturally... back up important files on your Windows partition before formatting. [/QUOTE]
