How to resolve Mac BootCamp error, which assumes unused space as used?

I was in the process of making space for windows on Mac using BootCamp meanwhile I stopped the process. On restarting the system later on I found the windows created space shows up as “used space” although part of Macintosh HD partition. But I am unable to find and delete that unused space which system considers used.

Basically boot camp has two important purposes to serve –
• Making drive partition for windows without deleting files
• Making driver CD based on apple hardware

As per my knowledge I think there is hardly any problem, other than you being unable to understand drive arrangement incorrectly. It is because “Macintosh HD” is the original hard drive with HFS+ volume. BootCamp then makes FAT32 partition with the help of that volume. So, the partition on which OS X is installed is not formatted to HFS+ correctly, startup problems takes place.

From disk utility you can know about the volumes used, still if you can’t know the problem going on it would be better to completely format the hard drive with new partitions recreated. The data you loose in the process can be restored from backup or mac data recovery application.
