[QUOTE="Sur3Mac, post: 1459768, member: 113359"] No there's not... I wasn't aware that the Bootcamp assistant also didn't allow you to restore the Mac partition to it's full capacity. Here's what you can do: 1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD (or Flash Drive) 2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation 3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU) 4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed) 5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab 6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete 7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom That should delete your Windows partition After that's done successfully 8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply. 9) Quit Disk Utility 10) Reboot your Mac from your harddisk. Post back with the results. SM [/QUOTE]
