So yeah... here's my problem. I uninstalled boot camp, by restoring the drive using the BootCamp Assistant. Well... when I turn my computer on, and hold down option, it still gives 2 drives named "Windows" as a choice to boot to, even though they "don't exist." This really scared me when it tried to boot to one of those automatically after a restart, and it said that it could not load the operating system. Anyone have any suggestions as how to fix this.
Got a tip for us?

I've already tried that... and it didn't work.
I did notice just recently on boot up that the two "windows" drives that are showing up correspond to my extra internal drive and my firewire drive...
Anyone know what would cause the system to think that they are boot drives even though they 1) aren't boot drives and 2) are Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partitioned?
Or, does anyone know how to change a drive's "bootable" status to "no?"

I have a similar issue, everytime i restart I get a floder with a question mark superimposed...this slows my startup so id really love it to go away!
I'm just guessing here, but the EFI probably has those types of devices set as bootable. It's just a guess though.
