[QUOTE="darkroom, post: 307862, member: 25650"] hey there... partitioning is a risky business... and removing boot camp is a perfect example... however, you're problem is quite fixable. i know this for a fact because i've removed Boot Camp partitions from my intel mac several times. what happened is that by removing the boot camp partition, it has greatly altered the "optimization" of your mac... "optimization" is what mac users call "defragment"... you will probably notice with your new mac that almost every install of new software will "optimize" as one of the last steps, this keeps things tight, so there isno real need for a general mac user to defragment their mac (and also no real reason for Apple to include a disk defragmenter with Mac OS X... eventhough it would be nice). most film/video/animation studios, sound studios and imaging houses optimize their macs often since they are constantly loading and unloading super large files with their computer, placing and displacing data on a harddrive that slows down the optimized performance. i suggest you get Micromat's "TechTools Pro 4" (For Intel/PPC macs - Universal App)... it's a very solid and extremely reliable tools application suite. of the several tools included with this program is one that will optimize (defragment) your entire boot volume... and it doesn't take very long on the new macs... you have to boot your computer from the TechTools Pro 4 DVD in order to optimize your boot volume, or install what they call an "eDrive" which is a small partition of theirs that will allow you to perform emergencies without the install DVD... it would be very wise to install their eDrive, and it's less taxing on the DVD Rom since some of the tools can take a very long time to complete... once you use TechTools Pro 4, you're new intel mac will be flying high again...
