shut off my MBP 2011 2.2GHz while it was booting up 🙄, and I apparently corrupted my OS X partition 😱, but I can boot into bootcamp and I wan't to know how can I repair it without having have to format the drive 🙂, or loose the Windows 7 partition? or does it keep the bootcamp if I reinstall OS X? 😱
 
Try and boot from your install DVD and select repair.

I'm not sure if a reinstall of OS X would wipe out your Bootcamp partition. In theory it should leave it alone as long as you don't install to it.
 
I had to restore it with time Machine because it couldn't repair itself 🙂 and the bootcamp partition is fine and i am very glad that I did not have to reinstall windows and all of it's updates 😛
