Hello new user here... anyways,
I installed Windows 7 on my MacbookPro using Bootcamp just to see how the process went. After messing with Windows for a couple of hours, I decided it was time to say goodbye to W7, so I restarted in OSX, went back to the Bootcamp utility and restored my hard drive to its original OSX only state =)
When I restarted I was greeted with a black screen and a message asking to please insert boot disc... So I restarted again holding the option key and selected the OSX disk which was the only choice, this time it loaded OSX and once logged in I went to system preferences and selected the OSX disk, again, as my startup disc. Now it starts up in OSX by default.
SO...
TL;DR My question is; after reformatting with the Bootcamp utility, will there be any evidence of Windows left on the hard drive? I ask this question since it asked for a boot disk the first time after reformatting the hard drive, I wondered if there was still something from windows written to the hard drives boot sector that might be causing this. I checked disk utility and it shows everything like it was but I didn't know if there was a way I could check the boot sector?
Or maybe I'm just worrying over nothing. xD
