[QUOTE="nopun75, post: 785487, member: 81380"] Well I recently installed Windows onto a second partition but I have now decided I would like that partition back as free space. I don't have my Windows cd anymore so booting up with that and reformatting isn't an option. Is there anyway I can force a format of the partition without reformatting my whole drive? I tried to go through Disk Utility but windows has disabled all the permissions so it is considered non-writable. I also tried to force a reformat by installing OS X onto the partition, but it returned a failed install. I'm running a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo and I have the OS X Tiger 10.4 Install disc [/QUOTE]
