Ok, so setup a bootcamp partition, installed vista, everything is fine. I decided I want a larger partition for vista, so figured i would restore to a single partition, and repartition to a larger size. So, back to bootcamp assistant, select restore to single volume...everything runs, prompts to restart...restart, and the windows partition is still there. No error messages, nothing. This is a macbook 1.83......any ideas?

Hmm...boot from the install disc that came with the computer and run Disk Utility to verify/repair the drive if needed. Then try the Boot Camp assistant again and see what happens.
