how to remove boot camp partion after windows has been deleted

You need to use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.

Hi,

Usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.

After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable. After the reboot use the BootCamp Assistant again to make the Windows partition and then install the (hopefully correct) version of Windows.

Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :

1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD

2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation

3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)

4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)

5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab

6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete

7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom

That should delete your former Windows partition

After that's done successfully

8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.

9) Quit Disk Utility

10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.

Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

Even simpler, skip the install DVD stuff and open the Disk Utility under Applications/Utilities and do step 4 of Fortuny and go from there. It was dead simple, but the 'select the harddisk, not the partition' wasn't obvious to me, so I had to google. Thx revlac and Fortuny.
