To delete a Windows partition on a computer with multiple internal disks:
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 ³Create or remove a Windows partition² and click Continue.
5 Select the disk with Windows on it.
6 Select ³Restore to a single Mac OS partition² and click Continue.
