| Feb 25, 2014 at 7:56 | comment | added | Andrew U. | @Z1MM32M4N, what I think Robuust was trying to say was using the Bootcamp Utility to create a Windows partition, as soon as that is done use Bootcamp Utility to delete the partition. This could resolve your issue are at least get you down an extra partition. Chances are the boot.efi file on the Mac OS is aware of the old OSes and has it listed still. The way to trick it is using the Bootcamp Utility to remove partitions. | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 7:35 | comment | added | jez | The only options I have on Bootcamp are to a) create a Windows install disk, b) download apple support software, and c) install Windows. I do not want to mess around with installing Windows again. Been there, done that. | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 7:27 | comment | added | Rob | Can you try creating a new partition via the Bootcamp utility? You should also be able to remove it via that tool. It might remove one of the ghost Windows images on your disk. | |

| Feb 25, 2014 at 6:37 | comment | added | jez | I also have no intention of making a new partition yet. I want to get rid of the icons before messing around with Linux. | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 6:36 | comment | added | jez | When I originally installed Windows, yes. I tried to also use Bootcamp to remove the Windows partition, but this didn't work (and I can't remember why, unfortunately.) All I know is that I forcibly removed the NTFS partition because Bootcamp wouldn't let me. | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 6:31 | comment | added | Rob | Did you run the bootcamp utility to make a new partition? | |
