I hope someone can help with this. I just installed the new Mountain Lion OS from Snow Leopard where I had been running Windows 7 via Bootcamp. I had originally created a partition for Windows 7 to run in, but ran out of HD space for it, so created a second partition for Win files. Now I can't find that second Win partition when I boot up using Windows 7, and am wondering if Mountian Lion deleted it or hid it somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find it, or restore it?

Running MacBook Pro 17" 2008
Thanks!

G'day and welcome to the fprums.

Boot and hold down the Option key and see if Windows is available for boot. If not you may have to format the drive and start again as to install Windows you need a drive formatted Mac OS Extended (Journalled) in one single partition.
