MBP always boots in removed windows 7 EFI partition
Hi all,
i have a strange issue: after trying desperately to install windows 7 alongside Yosemite on an early 2011 MBP i gave up and deleted the bootcamp partition.
But now it always boots into a windows blue screen of death, even after i make yosemite the startup disk in system preferences.
I always have to start up with the ALT key and am regularly confronted with the blue screen when i forget.
Booting with the ALT key gives me 2 choices: OS X and 'EFI boot'
Windows is haunting me after i deleted it and come to think that i only wanted to try it out because i could. **** you Windows.
It tells me that windows cannot start and it needs repairs, which is obvious because i deleted the windows partition.
Something tells me that it has something to do with the EFI partition where some windows software has to be installed, but disk utility won't let me delete the partition, because it thinks it's the OS X EFI.
Is there a way to restore the EFI partition to a proper OS X partition or how do i delete it and how?
Thanks in advance for your time and effort,
Best of regards,
