[QUOTE="luke.burger, post: 1042684, member: 152435"] [b]System can't find OS X partition at startup[/b] I'm having the same problem where my unibody macbook snow leopard can't even find the os x partition after running boot camp to install xp. I was able to boot from the osx install cd but it is prompting me to startup as if it is a completely new fresh install. Is there anyway to figure out if my old partition is still there so i don't lose all my data? More info: I initially completed the windows install with boot camp but i didn't partition with enough disk space (5GB) and ran into trouble when trying to install sp2. I repartitioned with more (40GB) after removing the initial and was never able to complete the install for windows (just kept freezing up during the install). Now when i restart it only shows the windows partition that isn't even working and it doesn't show the os x partition. Any help is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
