[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1489023, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Did you print and read BootCamp instructions? You need to remove the partition by going into BootCamp and hit 'Remove'. Have yet to see that fail so something was not right. Disc Utility will not do that for you. You may well have to go into Recovery for OS X.7 and X.8 and format the drive and do a clean install. If you are using Snow Leopard may use the install DVD for this purpose. And when things are up and running use an external drive with Time Machine, SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner to backup your data. [/QUOTE]
