I had made a partition a while back and now I want 1 single partition now and there is no way to do this - that I can tell. Tried disk utility and the only options there are to erase a partition but it does not delete it. Tried to run boot camp and it says - The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows. Any ideas how to totally delete the 20 GB partition and get back to just one w/o having to format the whole thing? That is all good but I cannot delete the other partition at all.

How the hell do I get rid of them if bootcamp won't start up? I also installed linux over the windows partition and have Macintosh, disk0s4 and Linux Swap.

It worked great, until I tried to merge the drive back together and redo Vista. I'll definitely try this - why I didn't think to look on the install DVD is beyond me. I tried almost everything else imaginable. Thanks! I have a similar problem with my Intel iMac, except I installed Linux over Vista because Boot Camp was giving me problems about installing it.
