On my old macbook, I installed vista and everything worked fine. I just did that on my new macbook pro. It runs fine and all, but the Bootcamp HD isn't showing up on my desktop under my Macintosh HD. I went do disk utility and it verifiys the disk, but repair just does this:

I try to mount the image, but it fails and wants me to try repairing, which as you see in the picture doesn't work. Any ideas?

Run "chkdsk" under Windows, otherwise known as a disk check. You need to take care of the filesystem corruption under Windows before Mac OS X will permit you to mount the disk.

I find it amusing that out of all the users on MR, "Bill Gates" helps out with a windows related issue :p

I was thinking the same thing. The best guy to answer the question.

Did you go into the FINDER properties and make sure "Network Drive" is checked ?

Well I did this last night and it still isn't there. I'm getting the same error when I go to mount/repair the Bootcamp HD. Yes the network drive is checked under finder :/

Well I checked the ntfs-3g plugin to see if that had to do with anything. I disabled it and as soon as I did the bootcamp hard drive popped right up -_-. Reinstalled it so that I could drag and drop files. I rarely have problems with Macs, but when I do, they always have the simplest, silliest solutions. Thanks for the help.
