[QUOTE="Cam.Osborn, post: 955330, member: 134174"] I had this problem before. What you need to do is boot into your Mac OS X install disk you are running by holding C or holding the option key and selecting the install disk, and once it boots up select your language then wait for the menubar to show up once its done click utility's then select disk utility once it opens select the linux swap partition click the erase tab click on the format selection button and select Mac OS Extented (Journaled) then click security options and select the first one (since I think with a partition that small it doesnt really matter which option you pick) then click ok then click erase and let it erase it. And once its done click on your main hard drive go to partitions and you should be able to remove it and resize your mac os x partition to its original size. Hope this helps, Cameron [/QUOTE]
