Can't boot Lion after Windows 7 has been used

[TobiasL]

Hi there

I installed Lion on my MBP 15" 2011 a few days ago. Everything went well until today, when I closed Windows 7 after a few hours of use. Now I can only get the options "Windows 7" and "Recovery HD" when I boot up - no Mac OS X Lion. Any idea how to solve this problem without reinstalling Lion?

Thanks!

i have only used windows 7 (ultimate, x64) a handful of times now, but have not run in to this issue. which suprises me, because after the install, it restarted twice, then i did updates, restarted, updated my drive firmware (because it can only be done in windows...come on OWC !! we need a driver updater for windows, thats honestly the only reason i have windows at all !!), restarted, did windows updates, restarted, you get the picture. all in all, i have restarted between lion and win7 at least 50 times.

what where you doing prior to the problem occuring ??

I was playing a game - and I've done the same both friday and saturday - so kinda weird something happened now.

If you to the recovery area and open disk utility, do you see your Mac partition?

Yeah, but I can't repair the disc. I have to reinstall Lion. I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who knew a solution so I didn't have to reinstall Lion. Or what could have caused the problem... Just so I don't have to reinstall Lion again some other time.
