[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 840044, member: 8287"] With the OSX DVD in the drive, power down. Power back up and hold down the C key and keep it down after the startup sound. OSX should start from the DVD. When it gets to the installer, look at the toolbar up top and from the menu and find the Disk Utility. Once in there find the drive and click on it. Click on the Partition Tab. Then click on where it says Volume Scheme (Current) and change that to 1 partition. Then click on Options toward the bottom and be sure GUID is checked which is the first option. Then click on Apply. It should make the new Partition. Then quit Disk Utility. You might have to restart with the C held down, then the drive should show as an option. Reinstall OSX. This will zap the Windows install but at this point I doubt you will care! Let me know if this works. It should. [/QUOTE]
