If you have loaded 1 image and have the layers palette visible then that layer should already be highlighted and show as blue. Right click that layer and just above Merge should be Promote Background Layer. Choose that.

If it's greyed out perhaps it's already promoted?

Is the layer named "Background"? If not, then it is already promoted.

As Levi said, yes. And that means that if you erase or cut out a portion of that image layer it will reveal transparency until you place another image layer underneath it, at which time the lower layer will be exposed through the portion of the upper layer that had a portion removed.
