Hi All
I have a Mac Book Pro Santa Rosa 17"
I upgraded the internal HD to a Samsung M6 500 GB & partitioned it to
160 Gb OS X Leopard
300 GB XP SP3
(Since boot camp formats only in FAT 32,on Windows XP setup i reformatted it to NTFS.Everything was working fine .Mac wont recognize the XP boot volume but i could boot and work in windows holding the options key)
Recently the hard disk connector to the motherboard failed
I took out the HD and installed it in a external USB to recover the files
Upon booting from the USB disk my mac book pro would boot into OS X leopard & I could access all the files on my XP NTFS partion as well
But when holding the options key on boot I would not give me the option of Windows.
I thought that the Boot.ini file was corrupt along with the MBR(hoping to boot into XP for the USB drive)
SO i booted with my Win XP cd and 1st did a Boot fix and then a MBR fix using the recovery console.WIndows did warn me that this was a special partition but i still went on with the fix
Now my windows partition has totally dissapeared.Whereas earlier i could see the XP partiton on booting from OSX now the partition is gone.
I can see the C: partition on Active partition recovery in my other Desktop Xp
Please help me with a fix of MBR for boot camp windows
