The Windows XP partition did show in Start Up disk in Leopard for a little while, then disappeared, I know the XP part still boots, using the keyboard Option key on bootup I can access XP, but can't set the default in Startup Disk under Leopard cause well, the partition is not listed, any way to fix this ?

Probably best to start over. :( Use the Boot Camp assistant to restore your hard drive to OS X and give it another go.

It's hard to say what went wrong but if the Windows partition is not being recognized there's not much you can do to fix it. As I said above, try starting over by removing and re-creating the partition for XP.

Regards.
