[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1543330, member: 46727"] The gray lock screen is a mystery to me. It should not be doing that unless the installation of rEFIt somehow screwed things up. I installed and uninstalled rEFIt before and it's a fairly straight forward process so I can't imagine what might have happened. Do you by chance have an older OS X boot disk? For example, do you have a Snow Leopard install disk? We might be able to use it to get things working again. Right now you're stuck.... Trying to boot to OS X is not working, trying to boot to the Lion Recovery partition is not working, only booting to Windows is working. I'd like to be able to disable rEFIt to see if that's the problem, but without being able to get into OS X, we can't. [/QUOTE]
