[QUOTE="chscag, post: 813191, member: 46727"] The Boot Camp Assistant will not restore 3 partitions that were not setup for Windows. Your initial error was to create Linux Home, Data, and Swap partitions. Not really needed anyway. Linux works fine using one partition. Anyway too late for that. If you use GParted, there's a chance you won't recover the space for OS X. GParted will certainly be able to merge the three Linux partitions to one as unformatted space. One way is to boot the machine with your original install media and run Disk Utility. However that means erasing and reinstalling. So if you decide to do that, use the archive and install method. The other solution is to purchase "iPartition" ($49.95) and non destructively merge everything back to OS X. No reinstall required.
