cant boot to bootcamp

[Arkious]

Hello,

After upgrading to Mountain Lion yesterday, i cant get access to my bootcamp partition. It isnt shown in the boot menu when you press Alt and i cant select it as a startup disk. Bootcamp Assistant knows that it is installed as it asks me to remove or download drivers.

Please help!

Try a program called quickboot I use this all the time because I hate having to hold down alt. it might work I dono....

but i shouldnt have to do that should i? the recovery partition is visible but the other isn't

When you boot the machine and see the grey screen, hold down OPTION and see if it comes up, PS. BootChamp still works on Mountain Lion!

Ah so ML didn't actually wipe the whole disk?! That's good to know, going to try it over the weekend. Interested to see what the new features are like!

no no it didnt wipe the whole disk, but it corrupted the Windows side. So at the moment im busy creating a USB installer so that i can completely format and install a fresh

Hmm, sorry to hear that, looks like I'll be enabling Windows 7's system backup before my Mountain Lion install…

Did you have any kind of backup for Windows configured?
