System Preferences - Start up disk cannot see Windows

Can you boot into Windows via holding down the OPTION key right after the startup sound chimes?

I can't see your screen shots in any of three web browsers. Can you fix them?

I can see them quite well in Safari 5.1.5.

To the OP, what happens, when you choose Verify Disk in Disk Utility on that Windows partition?

OK well, interestingly enough Mac OS X presently thinks the Windows disk is MS-DOS (FAT) formatted rather than NTFS. Mac OS X will only display Windows 7 as a Startup Disk item for NTFS formatted disks that contains a system it can boot.

Safari is tolerant of images with .jpeg filename extensions. Other web browsers are not, that's the problem.

Yeah, I suspected that to be the reason.

Did you reformat the Windows partition to NTFS before you installed Windows 7? This is step 2 through 5 in the Boot Camp Install Setup for 10.7.

No I didn't..And if I don't have USB or disk to reinstall Windows so I can't solve this problem without reinstalling Windows?

Usually it pays to read the instructions. But quite honestly I find Boot Camp to be a huge PITA as well as risky. Unless you're playing games, I don't see why you don't just run Windows in a virtual machine instead.

I'm surprised Windows 7 even lets users install onto FAT32.

OT: Maybie you're Lithuanian?

It actually doesn't, but it depends on what you're doing. Games and video editing even somewhat consider the operating itself a hinderance. Let alone two of them and a layer in between.
