I believe you can use the bootcamp assistant to remove the windows partition and then thnings shold fine and when you have the cd you can start the whole process again.

If you can't find Bootcamp assistant it's in Applications/Utilities/Bootcamp assistant. Just open it and follow the on-screen prompts to uninstall the windows partition.

To delete history in Safari just click on History in the menu bar and choose 'Clear history' from the drop down menu (It's the very last option on the list).

To remove cookies click on Safari on the menu bar, choose 'Preferences' from the drop down menu, click on the tab 'Security', click the button 'Show cookies' and you can then choose to delete all cookies or individual cookies.

A good maintenance tip is to repair disk permissions regularly, which helps to keep your Mac running smoothly. It is good practice to do this every couple of weeks or so and especially before and after installing any software or updates. To do this go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Once you have opened Disk Utility select the icon for your hard drive from the left hand column and then click on the button 'Repair Disk Permissions'. This only takes a few minutes and usually irons out any quirky behaviour that you may be experiencing.

Although I have given you the locations for Bootcamp Assistant etc., a quicker way to locate any application (Or file for that matter) is to simply click on 'Spotlight'. This is the looking glass shaped icon on the extreme top right of your screen. Click on this and start to type the name of the item that you wish to locate and it will automatically start to list everything that is relevant to what you type.
