[QUOTE="chemist, post: 1661199, member: 84235"] Thanks guys. I decided to just start over again, erasing the old partition. I did this for the following reasons: 1) I realized the BC assistant has to be able create a BC partition on a FV-encrypted drive, since encryption is the default option for Mac laptops. 2) I realized that, of the time it takes to create a Win 7-based BC partition, recreating the partition itself is just a small fraction (most of it is doing the interminable update/restarts required to get Win 7 up to date). So given that it would work, and given that starting from scratch added little extra time, it made sense to do a completely clean reinstallation. [/QUOTE]
