Hello,
I installed Win 7 in bootcamp and everything was working fine. Then I started to play around with rEFIt to install Linux as a 3rd OS. I managed to install everything but since the driver support in Linux was poor, I decided to wipe out Linux + rEFIt and return to the initial setup (OSX + Win7 in bootcamp).

I deleted the Linux partition and rEFIt but now, my MBP starts and I hold the option key, I can't see the Windows drive anymore. The (NTFS) partition is still there and I can access all the files from OSX but I can't boot it.

Any idea how to solve this ?

Thx,
Tex

Well now i is the opposite ! I can boot from the Windows partition but I can't mount it in OSX :s Before I could mount/read/write the ntfs partition without problem. Now I see only disk0s3 in the Disk Utility. I also updated my ntfs-3g driver but it can't see any partition (see screenshot). What's wrong ?!

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
T

EDIT: I think this was because during the installation I removed and created the partition instead of just formating it to NTFS. I installed Win7 again and now it's ok again :)

what are you using to be able to write from OSX to Win7 partition?
