Can anyone point me to some instructions on how to remove windows from my mid 2007 iMac and erase the partition? The Boot camp Installation & setup guide I have tells me how, but when I open up the Boot Camp assistant in my utilities file it does not show me a screen with the option to remove a Windows partition. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Do you see a screen similar to the following?
Please also see Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac .
No. The screen I get when I load the DL Assistant looks like this.
I did find an answer using ask.com. It recommends using the disjk utility to erase the Windows hard drive on my iMac, but I am reluctant to move a head without more info.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
1. What is your current OS X version? This looks like Snow Leopard.
2. Choose the second option (I have ...) and click on Continue. What screen do you see?
3. Please post the output of the following OS X terminal commands.
diskutil list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.
Snow Leopard it is. I will run the second option and let you know what I see. I am not sure how to do item three, but let's do the secon one first and see what i get. Will get back to you.
Thanks
Loner, It worked! Backed up my disk and then hit restore. Very simple once I was able to access the correct screen.
Thanks for the help.
Very 😎 .
