[QUOTE="nicolemarissa, post: 1459709, member: 277621"] Hi All! When I purchased my 2009 Mac Book Pro I installed Windows Vista with Bootcamp and a 50/50 split. Recently, I needed to upgrade OSX operating systems and wanted to get rid of my Windows operating System. I did a "clean" wipe of my computer (or so I thought) to reinstall my OSX 10.5 Leopard system. After doing so, I went into my disk utilities to "erase" the bootcamp partition, however, the erase didn't seem to get rid of the bootcamp. I then upgraded to OSX 10.8, thinking that it would help me in eliminating the partition. When going to "bootcamp assistant" I now get the message: "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows." What does this mean? And how can I fix it so I can continue to delete the partition through Bootcamp assistant? Thanks in advance for your help and for reading this post! nicole [/QUOTE]
