Hello,
Originally I was having trouble getting bootcamp to work, while partitioning the hard drive it gave an error message saying files could not be moved. Anyway this was resolved by making a smaller partition and I have now got Windows installed and booting.
However OSX seems a bit messed up now.
1. Spotlight is re-indexing the entire hard drive.
2. Bootcamp hard drive is not showing up in the Finder or the "Startup Disk" in System Preferences. However it is showing up in disk utility as 'disk0s3' but shown as not mounted.
The partition format is Windows NT Filesystem (NTFS-3G).
I have NTFS-3G installed in system preferences and can usually mount/see NTFS drives.
I'm guessing windows did its own formatting and removed the bootcamp setup. Not sure why it isn't mounted though.
Also every time I boot up OSX, an error message appears at the login screen saying the NTFS drive was not cleanly unmounted... Force or Abort - neither option fixes the issue.
3. My imac is also booting up Windows by default and I have to press option to chose OSX even though it is default (and only) startup disk in System Preferences.
I am running OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Windows 10 (bootcamp). I have never had any issues like this before, despite having used bootcamp in the past.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
