Hi there folks!

I'm having a problem where Lion OSX 10.7.2 doesn't show up the different existing boot partitions.

I have 2 partitions in one disk and 2 partitions in other disk:

Primary Disk:

· Partition one: Lion OSX 10.7.2
· Partition two: Snow Leopard OSX Latest Version.

Secondary Disk:

· Partition one: For storage in OSX Format.
· Partition two: Bootcamp for Windows 7 64 bits.

Bootcamp version: 3.3

For some very strange reason, Lion doesn't recognice the Bootcamp partition, therefore, it cannot be mounted, as shown in the image below:



It doesn't also, recognice it in the Boot Disk Selection as shown in the image below:



The weird thing is that all the boot partitions are recognized by Snow Leopard (when booting from there) and also, by the Bootcamp Control Panel in Windows 7.

The next 2 images shows it:

Snow Leopard:



Windows 7 64 Bits:



So I'm wondering why they're not shown in Lion!

Any help/tip will be grately appreciated because I have to jump into SL if I want to go to Windows.

Thanks so much for your help!

Ø3

Looks like you have used BootCamp from Snow Leopard and that is what it is recognising. As you have not installed Windows with Lion, it will not be able to see the Snow Leopard partition.

Hang on to those original install discs like grim death! Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer!
