Did you use the Boot Camp Assistant app to create the Windows partition and start the Windows install or did you install Windows natively without any version of OS X on the system?


If you used Boot Camp then OS X is still on your hard drive. At a restart or statup after shutting down hold down the Option key to get the boot selection screen and then select the OS X partition, usually Macintosh HD.


If you wiped the drive completely before or during the install of Windows then you will need either the original system reinstall discs that came with your Mac, if it came with discs, or use the Online Internet Recovery system if your Mac computer came out after June 2011.
