GPT edit tutorage needed

[seapup66]

Hello
first post guys, be easy.

Tried to install winblows 7 on my new 27" imac. Sorted through the known issues-Black screen of Death,never ending cursor, missing BootMgr, Ati drivers... got win 7 working and noticed that the os x side cannot mount the windows (BOOTCAMP) partition?

seems the mac GPT thinks the win partition is fat 32 and it is actually a NTFS partition.

any way to edit the GPT to agree with the MBR???????

Thanx for the help

seems the mac GPT thinks the win partition is fat 32 and it is actually a NTFS partition.

so what is the actual problem you are having?

did you initially install win7 using Bootcamp Assistant?

Sorry it took so long to reply

I am trying to edit the gpt table to match the MBR on the windows side

Yes mI installed windows 7 via bootcamp.
I had to format bootcamp partition to NTFS as win7 will not install on a FAT 32 partition. I think this is why the GPT and MBR do not match up...

Any Ideas ANYONE????

more info

here is the info from the GPT and MBR

Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type

Having the same problems.

1. Bootcamp partition (Windows 7) not showing up on desktop in OSX.
2. Bootcamp partition (Windows 7) is unmountable through disk utility.
3. Verify/Repair disk/permissions does not solve the problem of it being unmountable in OSX.
4. chkdsk does not solve this problem of it being unmountable in OSX.
5. Bootcamp works fine when selecting the OS while holding Option Key like normal.


Like seapup66 mentioned earlier the OSx GPT thinks the Bootcamp (Windows 7) partition is FAT32 when it's actually a NTFS partition.

Anyone know how to configure the GPT/MBR to coincide with each other?

Here is the exact same problem that also got solved however I am lost as to how to go about doing this.
