Yep! I'm sure I screwed up! I'm going to reinstall i guess! Good thing I just made a backup moving from my powerbook to iMac. Although I'll have to redownload A Bugs Life!!
OH MY GOD! I am about to panic! I go to reinstall and thereis no volume to reinstall on!! What do I do?!

This isn't tech support. Don't flip out because no one answered your question in 5 minutes. If it's such a huge issue, call Apple.

First, I'd like to apologize for leaving a "snide" remark, that wasn't my intention. However, bumping your own thread is frowned upon, especially if only 5 minutes has elapsed. Keep in mind that this is not the Apple Tech Support Forum. That would be here: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa . Macrumors is a private community and many users are happy to help. However, by leaving messages such as this in a users mailbox, you hinder your quest. I stand by what I posted previously. If the issue is out of your control, call Apple. Granted, they don't support Windows, but your issue seems to be OS X related. Take care.

In the OS X installation, run the disk manager or disk tools whatever its called. I think its in the tools menu. It sounds like when you installed Windows it repartitioned the drive. You need to repartition the hard drive. Select the option for 1 partition. Once done you should be able to install OS X to this new volume and then later use Bootcamp to create the Windows volume.
