Hi All

This may have been answered previously.

Have me a Macbook, intel Dual Core.

Installed Vista using bootcamp.

Yesterday removed the windows partition. It did boot, but today it just gives grey screen and just the rotating icon, after 1/2 nothing

Did a reboot and held down option button and selected Mac.

Got grey screen with apple logo but after 1/2 hour still no boot.

Any ideas ? Should I reinstall OSX ?
