After Deleting Windows XP and Partition I Get Black Screen

[samir684]

this doesn't have anything directly to do with windows, more the aftermath.

i partitioned a 32gig portion of my hd with bootcamp 2.0 and installed windows. after deciding to use parallels instead, i used bootcamp to delete the partition. after deleting everything ran smooth no problem.

i went to use my computer again the next day and turned it on and now mac os doesn't load automatically. if i let it try and load it gives me a black screen saying "no boot disk found press any key to restart" or something.

if i want to load mac os i have to hold the option key as if i were choosing between windows and osx, but the windows partition doesn't exist when i do that just my mac hd.

any idea how i can fix this problem without reformatting the drive?? i'm on a macbook pro if it matters.

there are no problems with mac os once it loads btw. everything runs perfectly smooth including parallels.

System Preferences -> Startup Disk -> Select OS X 10.5 -> Restart

It looks like the bootloader is trying to default you to a nonexistant Windows partition.
