I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 17" that came with Lion. I created a Windows 7 64bit bootcamp install. I also bought and installed VMWare Fusion. After I created the bootcamp partitiion I realized I needed more diskspace. I booted into Windows 7 and increased it's partition using a third party tool. After I did that I found out I can no longer access bootcamp from os x in fusion (I realized my mistake too late). Inconvenient, but I decided not to worry about it for now. I use Windows 7 in my job, and os x at home, so I just boot into the appropriate os according to whatever I'm doing.
Yesterday, I bought and upgraded to Mountain Lion. I no longer see my Windows drive when I hold down the option key during restart. I googled the issue and tried setting the partition to be bootable. Now I see it, but when I select it to boot into, I get a message about no operating system found.
I searched this forum for a similar issue and executed the following commands:
At this point, I would be happy if I could just get my data from the windows partition. I wouldn't mind trashing it after that and recreating my bootcamp partition from scratch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
