[QUOTE="mldolan, post: 1229639, member: 200469"] lots of weirdness going on here, just bought 17" macbook pro (pre unibody). came installed with windows 7 and parallels. I also put macbunto on a USB flash drive hoping to have a triple boot unit. the first thing that went bad was that the disk icon for windows 7 disappeared. holding down the option key only shows the mac drive. I've tried everything i can think of with the disk utility, it shows 2 partitions on the HDD but only info about the MAC partition. I installed rEFit and got no joy with that either, when I restarted, it only showed the mac drive. but it did give a report here; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Report for internal hard disk *** Current GPT partition table: # Start LBA End LBA Type 1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT) 2 409640 976510983 Mac OS X HFS+ Current MBR partition table: # A Start LBA End LBA Type 1 1 976773167 ee EFI Protective MBR contents: Boot Code: None Partition at LBA 40: Boot Code: None (Non-system disk message) File System: FAT32 Listed in GPT as partition 1, type EFI System (FAT) Partition at LBA 409640: Boot Code: None File System: HFS Extended (HFS+) Listed in GPT as partition 2, type Mac OS X HFS+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have no idea what any of this means maybe one of you who are smarter than me can figure it out. I can access windows 7 through parallels but as far as I know that is the only way I can get to it. Unfortunately I did not get system disks with my computer for snow leopard or win 7. [/QUOTE]
