Removing Windows from Your Computer

How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
Windows on a single-volume disk or on a second disk partition.

If you installed Windows on a second disk partition: Using Boot Camp Assistant as
described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.

If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only
one partition:
Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the
Applications folder, to reformat it as a Mac OS X volume.

To delete Windows and the Windows partition:

1

Start up in Mac OS X.

2

Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.

3

Open Boot Camp Assistant.

4

Select “Create or remove a Windows partition,” and then click Continue.
