It's a bug. When starting up your Mac, hold down the option key, you can select it from there.
i did. when i hold down the option key, it does not let me choose a hard drive. it simply starts up with the apple logo.

Just fwiw option doesn't work on the first Intel iMacs and an Aluminum keyboard. I need to use my apple remote on my iMac.
To the OP what is your hardware setup? It would help to know to help you diagnose.
Does the bootcamp partition still mount read only in OS X and show up in Disk Ultility?

ok never mind. i had a big problem and had to reset my pram. after that it worked. i sucessfully backed up my data and uninstalled windows 7 from there. im going to be using virtual machines from now on.
