[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1205445, member: 46727"] How did you delete the Boot Camp partition? You mentioned that you reset the partition back to the original size? That implies that you did not use the Boot Camp assistant to remove Windows. If you had used the BC assistant to remove Windows, there would be no need to repartition the drive as it would have done that for you automatically. You possibly fragmented your drive by not using the BC assistant. (If you did use the BC assistant, ignore the above.) You probably do need to erase the drive and reinstall from the flash key that was supplied. That should get you back to the original startup. Remember, you're dealing with flash storage (SSD) on the Air, not an ordinary hard drive. You don't want to introduce any fragmentation as that will slow things down. [/QUOTE]
