Removing Windows from Your Computer

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

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, 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 “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.

5

Do one of the following:

Â

If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.

Â

If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue.
