hello last week i sent my 2008 macbook into the service centre to get fixed and i got it back today and turned it on. When i tried to get onto the windows side of my laptop it came up with ' no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'. So i later find out they have deleted my windows partition and just left the mac side. so im stuck on the side with no partiton i was wonder if there is a way to get back onto OSX because i cant call the store because they reopen on monday.. thanks
Got a tip for us?

thankyou for your reply and i tried the option key and nothing happend :S screen just stayed the same
First, the computer needs to be off. If it's on, hold the power button until it turns off (approx 5 seconds or so). Then turn your computer on, and immediately hold down the option key. Hold it until a menu appears (<30 seconds) and select your OS X partition.
