justin holt Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi there everyone, i have a friend who deleted his windows partition so that he could test out leopard. His only problem is now that when he went back to disk utility in Tiger, he formatted the previous leopard partition to hfs+ journaled as usual, and then tried to open up boot camp. It points out that the start up disk (which i'm assuming is the whole hd) has to be one partition. So to get it back would it be a good idea to use a utility such as gparted live cd to format the former leopard and windows partition to ntfs and attempt an install from there? Just so you know, i want to install windows again. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61916-deleted-windows-partition-on-macbook/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin holt Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 well, i don't think he has the leopard install disk anymore, would booting off his tiger restore disk work?
