[QUOTE="hb2009, post: 899880, member: 117668"] So to make the long story short, I accidentally formatted the Mac OS partition to Windows' NTFS file system and now cannot reinstall Mac OS because Disk Utility refuses to convert the partition back to Mac. Initially, I used Boot Camp Assistant to split the hard drive into two. Next WinXP installation failed; so I ran the WinXP Recovery Console. After this, I can only see ONE partition when WinXP asked me to choose which partition to install it. And I end up being unable to start up with any OS. What can I do to format the drive back to Mac file system? Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
