Lost access to boot camp

[hobbes131]

I just went to try boot camp after a few months of not using it. I restarted, held the option key, and nothing happened. Soooo then I took a look at my disk utility and find that my partitions are there, but not mountable?

I tried bootchamp as well but the option is greyed out.

I tried boot camp assistant and it said that there were already partitions on my drive that I needed to get rid of.

I'm wondering if this happened during a software update or something, and if there's a way I can regain access to my Windows installation. I'd like to avoid the day or so of setting it up again, not to mention the loss of my data on there.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Which version of Windows? You can try a repair by using your Windows CD or DVD. Go to the MS Knowledge Base and look up how to repair Windows (XP, Vista, Win 7).

I think it's Windows 7. I'm not sure how I can do a windows repair when Mac won't even let me choose my boot disk because it doesn't see it. How would I get the repair to start?

The repair process means you have to boot your machine with your Windows CD or DVD. Insert the Windows disk, hold down the C key and the machine should boot. Follow the MS instructions after it boots.
