[QUOTE="jdgti, post: 617728, member: 9996"] 1.) I am not sure what exactly happened during your installation from just reading your post, but when you deleted the partition, you have to reformat it to FAT32 or NTFS from the windows install screens before being able to install windows on it. So, you might have just deleted it, and then not formatted, so it has no format, but only free space on the HD that cannot be read from OS X. Just my 2 cents. 2.) To get everything back to normal you need to boot into OS X and then open the bootcamp assistant and click the option that allows you to format for a windows installation. Then you need to chose the option to restore your hard drive. 3.) As answer 1.) says, yes you may have deleted your FAT32 partition without succeeding to format it correctly. Once you do the steps in two, you can try everything again by going to bootcamp and following the instructions to get your HD ready to install windows again. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
