Hi, I have a MB, recently bought. I have a total of 55.9GB of space.

46GB is allocated towards Mac OS Extended (journaled)... mount point /.

9.6GB is allocated for the Windows NT Filesystem mounted at /Volumes/Untitled.

Is there anyway to delete the Win NT partition, and just add it to my already Mac OS Extended partition? If so, any steps would be appreciated.

That kind of depends on how you got that NT partition there to begin with. If you used Boot Camp, you can use the Boot Camp Utility to restore your start up disk to a single partition very easily. If you used some other method, we'd have to know what that was before advising you.

And note that this is probably not a MacBook-specific issue. We have a whole forum for running operating systems other than a Mac OS on Mac hardware, the Alternative Operating Systems forum. That's probably where you should have taken this question. I'll leave this thread in the MacBook forum for now, until we figure out which direction to go with it.

I bought this from someone. They put WinNT on it. When I booted up the MB for the first time, I had to install Mac OS X (fresh).

They said they used BootCamp. Though I cant find it.

Ok, I've tried BC. I clicked on the option: Restore the startup disk to a single volume.

After I did that, it said that it would be partitioned as 55GB. However, when I do run that and restart, the 9.57gb is still parition under WinNT.
