Macbook Bootcamp

[jprestonnaidoo]

Hi all,

I installed windows vista on my Mac through BootCamp, and decided like a smart-ass to delete the Mac OS partition. Does anybody know how to reverse the process? Also how do you get into a Mac's BIOS settings? So as to boot from USB etc.?

many thanks>>>

Unless you have a backup it's gone! To boot from an external hard drive hold down the ALT key when starting up and this will give you the startup disk choices.

Can't get into Mac BIOS/EFI AFAIK, thus the need to press keys at boot...

Had the same situation with another Macbook - only had Windows on it! So booted from Mac OSx dvd and installed from scratch... And remember to update - most older mackbooks have a nasty random reboot bug!

next time install reefit as a boot manager. From what i remember it helps with these issues....
