Default Bootcamp left behind a skeleton

Hey everyone,

I installed a copy of the Windows 7 BETA on my girlfriends Macbook Pro about 6 or more months ago and since school has started she asked me to remove it since it is not being used anymore since the BETA expired.

I used the Apple Bootcamp to remove the partition but here is my problem, every time the computer is restarted, or shutdown and booted up it goes to what I assume is the windows MBR and produces an error saying something like "No media to boot from, please insert a windows disk".

Is there any way to make it so you don't have to hold control everytime the computer boots up to get into the Mac OS?

Also, the mac OS is the only hard drive listed so I don't know what it's booting into.

Thanks!
~Gray

I would think there is an option within bootcamp to remove it?
Never used it (why on earth would I put Windows on my MacBook?)..

Go to system preferences (click on apple icon in upper left corner) and chose start up disk. Then re-choose the Mac partition as the main boot up drive.
