[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1231956, member: 184879"] you need those disks. you dont need the $130 dollar version, thats the boxed set with iLife etc. just grab the OS disks for $30. Lesson you have learned: [B]Never do any partitioning or disk maintenance through Windows! Always use the Bootcamp Assistant to remove partitions, and Disk Utility for everything else.[/B] boot from your disk, then run disk utility and reinstall OSX. you may have lost your data. If there is still a chance of data recovery, remove the hard drive from the Mac, place in an external caddy, and connect to another computer via USB, and if you are lucky some of your Mac side's files may be there, but no guarantee. Back up your Windows files. [/QUOTE]
