[QUOTE="duketv, post: 1634083, member: 341642"] Hi guys, I could really use some help. This week I installed a program on my win7 bootcamp on a 2010/2011 (?) MacBook and after that I couldn't reboot to os x again. It tried to boot into safe mode, but shut itself out after that. Disk utility in recovery mode tells me that I need to reformat my drive (after backing up my files, which were still accesible through windows). I tried to do that but it gave me the error that 'the drive could not be opened'. When I tried a clean install trhough recovery mode, the mac drive did not show up. I got no clue what is going on, but before I format the windows partition in the hopes of a NTFS/Mac combi problem, I was hoping if somebody recognizes this problem or has another idea. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
