I’ve had a Bootcamp partition running Windows Vista on my Macbook almost ever since I purchased my mac early last year. Originally when I purchased my mac I was still afraid and having second thoughts. So I had installed Vista on my mac in order to feel a little more at home. Although I had the Vista partition as a safe zone I sucked it up and hardly used Vista. I used OSX, and tried to find alternatives to the programs that I used in Vista. Luckily I managed to transition with ease, possibly because I had switched to Ubuntu for a short period. The only thing I do miss is Windows Live Writer, for use with this blog. Luckily Wordpress has had a nice overhaul on their admin interface and somehow find it fairly easy to live with.

So after nearly 10 months without using my Vista partition I’ve decided it’s time to get rid of it and make good use of that hard drive space on my OSX installation. This is a short picture walk through on how to delete your Windows/Linux Bootcamp partition in OSX.

• Go to your applications folder by double clic.king your Macintosh HD > Applications Folder > Utilities and open the Boot Camp Assistant.
• Read the Introduction and select Continue.
• On the Select Task screen you want to select the Create or Remove a Windows Partition option.
• You will come to the next window Restore Disk to a Single Volume, read through the window and press the Restore Button.
• It will then ask for the main account password and continue on to the next screen.
• After a minute or two (may take longer) it will finally display the results and a quit button will appear and you are Done!
