    I recently used boot camp to install windows XP on a partition of my Macbook's HDD. However, one or more of the OS files of windows has become corrupt and I can't run the OS anymore. I've tried reinstalling from the disk, but its not working.

    I've tried using disk utility to wipe the partition, but I can't access it because its a boot drive.

    I'm looking for a way to erase the partition without having to reinstall OSX.

    Basic info
    The Partition is called "Untitled"
    It is formated for Windows NT filesystem

    can you go back into the bootcamp assistant and change the partition? That's what I had to do a few times, windows was on, but then something would mess up, I would have bootcamp assistant just take the windows partition, add is all back to the mac os x partition, and then I would repartition the whole thing again for windows.
