[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1617474, member: 24160"] Then the partitions have already been messed up or you haven't installed the latest bootcamp drivers. I'd verify there is no update for the bootcamp drivers first. If so, then try removing it again. To use Disk Utility for making changes to the drive, you need to boot the machine holding down the command and R keys - select Recovery and then Disk Utility. If you can't delete the windows partition from there and enlarge the OS X partition to take that space - Next you're going to need to show us a pic of Disk Utility - with the hard drive selected on the left - on the 'Partition' tab and the windows partition selected on the right... You can post a screenshot by clicking the 'Go Advanced' button below the Quick Reply box and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Close the window to go back to your post after selecting and uploading the pic. (Something is wrong or already played with, because no new Mac arrives with a MBR instead of a GUID partition scheme.)
