Reinstall Mac OsX after format in Windows

Hi guys. I have a weird situation on my Macbook pro retina. After i got my MBPr i had OS mountain lion installed on the machine. I come from Windows based computers so i needed my Windows installed. I installed Windows through boot camp and after a while i realised that i don't use Mac Os , it had some scrooling lag in web pages, and i was not used to that so i only used windows. As i have only 512 GB hdd i wanted to take advantage of the remaining space so i formated the partition which had mac os installed on. But now i want to give mac os antoher go with the new Mavericks coming soon. Can i install Mac Os back on that partition and still keep my windows going without having to reinstall it through boot camp. If so how can i do it. Here is a link with my partitions:

I want Mac Os back on partition Files (D:) 50.29 GB.

Thanks,

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Windows 7

At this point no you can't. You'll have to repartition the complete drive as one partition, install OS X Mt Lion and then if you like reinstall Windows using Boot Camp. You can make a backup of your Windows install with a program called WinClone then reload that after you reinstall OS X.

Or you can install OS X on an external drive and test it out again. Maverick won't change how OS X works. It will just add feature and better support for certain things.

Like I said it will have new features and better support for certain things. But the way OS X works won't really change. Yes Apple will move stuff around, rename some things and the like, but OS X is OS X and its basic functions have been the same for years and will continue.
