I bought a used mid 2007 white macbook. It has a 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, the start up disk is Untitled. It has Lion 10.7.5 installed. The owner that had it before me installed Lion, but did not do a clean install.
I wanted to do an experiment and install windows xp in a separate partition. I opened up bootcamp to start the process. When bootcamp opened, I clicked continue and in the next window I got the message that my disk could not be partitioned.
Then I shut down my computer and restarted it holding the option key. I discovered that there are two start up things, one untitled ( Lion) and one Windows.
When I clicked the windows thing, it booted but I got the message "missing operating system"
I need to know how to delete entirely the windows thing and get back the hard drive to where I can install XP.
I do not have a Lion thumb drive to wipe the disk and reinstall Lion. What should I do?
The computer did not come with the original install disks.
