Hello Everyone,

I am about to sell my macbook and wanted to clean all my files.. I reinstalled the mac os snow leopard with no problem. Everything I had was deleted and I have a brand new and clean OS. However, I noticed that my windows partition wasn't deleted so I went on bootcamp and removed that. I saw that the windows hard drive I used to see on the desktop disappeared. I restarted my computer and now I see a black screen saying: "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

Well, my snow leopard cd is inside.. I can't get that out.. and I don't have the windows cd anymore...
What do I do? Anyone has any suggestions?

Thank you

You also may want to make sure the startup disk is selected properly in system preferences when you get it booted.
