[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1113717, member: 46727"] How did you delete the Windows partition from OS X? Did you use the Boot Camp assistant to remove the Windows partition? If you used the BC assistant to remove the Windows partition, everything should be normal. You can not delete your OS X partition while booted from the hard drive so it should still be there. It could be a coincidence that your hard drive failed during the time you were restoring the Windows partition back to OS X. That's what it sounds like. Try this: See if you can start the machine with your OS X DVD. Hold down the C key as soon as you hear the chime. It will take awhile to boot. After it boots, don't allow it to go into the install phase. Instead, click on the top menu Utilities and then click Disk Utility. Do a verify and repair on the hard drive and let us know. [/QUOTE]
