Extremely slow start up on 13" MacBook Pro?

I have installed Win7 on my Mac and it works fine other than the sound issue.

However, when I tried to start up Snow Leopard using the option key, I get "EFI Firmware" and "Windows" as the the two options not the "HD Macintosh". anyway, when I select to start the Mac side, it takes about 10 minutes to start up-seriously. Once it starts up, everything is fine. Windows starts up immediately when I select it.


I tried talking with Apple support but that was no help as they blamed it on the fact that Bootcamp does not support Win 7 at the moment.

Any ideas?

It sounds like the partition type got changed somehow. Although I didnt think it was possible without data loss.

Click to expand...

Any suggestions to fix? I mean, everything works fine once it starts. It is a pain but not worth wiping out and losing my data.

The Windows side works fine.

Is there a way I can confirm the partition was changed?

Thanks
