I've been on long and arduous journey that started off trying to upgrade a hard drive that was becoming flaky......... finally got there using carbon copy cloning tool (excellent).
BUT when the new disc was created for OSX Lion I decided to switch to Windows 7 to see if everything was OK.
On my machine Windows is a separate physical drive using bootcamp.
But the Windows HD The was not visible when using start up disc preferences so I spent a couple of hours trying to make the windows drive bootable using a combination of bootcamp and the windows 7 install disc and a previous W7 back-up.
Finally I sorted Windows 7 out and all looked fine but when I tried to switch back to OSX via Bootcamp the switch failed and I ended up back in windows!!
Holding down the option key during restart revealed only ONE drive to select from - the OSX drive was not visible. So I ended up back into Windows 7.
I checked the Mac OSX drive which was visible in under My Computer and it looked fine. I opened up Bootcamp Assistant control panel and the expected Mac OSX drive was listed as an option to select.........(!)
It looks like Windows can see the Mac OSX drive but OSX can't!!!
I'm about to try booting the mac in target mode to see if I can figure out what's going on.
Any suggestions welcome!
