[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1130405, member: 46727"] OK. That leaves us with the possibility of a bad partition table. And really, the only way to clear that error is to wipe everything clean and start over. That includes your Snow Leopard partition. What you can do (if you want to go thru all that trouble) is make a clone backup of your Snow Leopard partition or use Time Machine. Then download and use the free "[URL="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25932/winclone"]WinClone[/URL]" to make a backup image of your Win XP partition. Boot with your SL DVD, use Disk Utility to remove the partitions and erase the drive. Reinstall and use your Time Machine backup. Afterward, create a new partition for XP using the BC assistant, and then restore XP from the WinClone image. Lots of work and always a chance of something going wrong in the process. [/QUOTE]
