Hi everyone!
I recently upgraded from snow leopard to lion on my macbook pro mid 2010 15". Everything went smooth and I'm very happy with it.
I also use bootcamp running windows7 to play games mainly. After I upgraded to lion (ie not a clean install) and turned on FileVault, I had the BSD errors whenever I switched to bootcamp. I google'd it, found out I needed to change 2 files names and upgrade to bootcamp4.0 via an external disk. I did all that, and I now run bootcamp 4.0.
However my problem is that I cannot see the mac disk from the windows partition anymore. At first I could actually see it (windows would define it as "H:" instead of "MacHDD" as I named it) but everytime I tried to open it, it would just try to load for 2 minutes, and then give me a message that the H: drive needs to be formatted.
I installed macdrive, it didn't change anything.
I launched bootcamp 4.0 "windows support" from my external drive, and repaired bootcamp, then rebooted. Now I just can't even see the mac disk anymore.
On top of that, whenever I start windows, my session takes about 4-5 minutes to fully load (I believe its just because its looking for the mac disk, but can't find it).
If I go to "Manage disk" under windows, the mac partition appears as an Healthy primary partition with no volume name.
I can see my bootcamp partition from lion though and can move files around on it.
I tried to google this, and search on the forum, and I haven't found anything, please bare with me if this question has already been answered.
All my drivers are updated by the way.
Anyone got an idea about this?
And also, would I actually benefit from a clean install ? I heard people gain a few seconds on the boot time and reactivity under lion...
Thanks!
Gary
