Uninstalling troubles

[thisiskevin]

So I had wanted to try Windows out on the Mac. I did everything that I was supposed to, and I got Windows running using Bootcamp.

After a little, I decided to get rid of Windows, as I didn't use it often, and I needed the space.

I went through the uninstall process and got rid of Windows. But now, every time i turn on the computer, I get a very slow startup and a black screen with a message "cannot find XP" (something like that)

If I boot it up and hold the option key, Mac OSX boots up fine, but if I don't, I have to shutdown and restart holding the option key.

What is wrong and how can I fix it?

The procedure to remove Windows and restore the HD back to OS X:

Boot to OS X, run the Boot Camp assistant, select create partition, select restore.

Did you remove Windows that way? If not, use the BC assistant and follow the above.

I did remove Windows the way that you stated.

I fixed the problem. I went into System Preferences -- Startup Disc -- selected Macintosh HD and clicked Restart.

All of the problems are fixed!
