Yesterday I tried to install Windows 8 on a Mac Mini using boot camp. I am new to Macs so when the windows installer told me it could not install to the Boot Camp created partition because it was not NTFS, I told it to wipe the partition and install it to the blank partition. Now I can run Windows 8 but nothing I do lets me back in to OSx. If anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated. Thanks.
I think you "messed up" your Mac.
Read the Boot Camp guide and then install using Boot Camp Assistant. But first, you need to repartition and format that hard drive and reinstall OS X and your other apps and data to it; hopefully you have a very recent backup.

I always worry about the first time I post in a fourm, usualy I see people just trolling a "noob" with a low post count. You suggestion about the manual got me in to reading another manual regaurding mac's in general. Like I said I am a new to Mac's so I was unaware of the recovery partition. Holding Command+R allowed me to fix my problem, Thanks.
I wasn't giving you a "RTFM manual!" poke. That really was the best way to solve your problem. I hope you didn't lose any data.
I think I messed up my mac install by installing windows 8
