Hey All! I am new to this forum. I have installed Windows XP on My Macbook using VMWARE FUSION. I partitioned it for 40GB. To be honest My friend did this process and I was not paying that much attention to detail. I want to uninstall the Windows XP completely and get the 40 GB back to MAC. I did this because I wanted to install some software which I have it for windows but later I found a loophole to it. Personally I do not like windows and I am using my MAC from past 3 years and never wanted to put windows in my MAC. (After I installed Windows and rebooted it, The very first messages I got were llike "some .dll error" and "Windows has just recovered from serious problems"...I do not want Windows on my system:))...
So, Could anyone please give me a step by step procedure to uninstall windows completely? I apologize for any inconvenience and thanks a lot for your time.
P.S: A forum like this is a real help.

Was this done just with Fusion or was the drive partitioned with Boot Camp as well?

1, delete the virtual machine within Fusion
2, remove the bootcamp partition using bootcamp assistant
Done

By the way, it is 'Mac' not MAC ;)

Thanks you guys for the reply. I have not used Boot Camp Assistant. I just used VMWARE FUSION. My bad RemarkabLee, I was used to it. I would write Mac from now. Now my main concern is: How do I remove virtual machine/ Windows XP within Fusion?

Thanks for your time.
