Hi Guys I'm still quite new to Mac and have had my Macbook Pro for about a month now so I'm hoping you can save me a little time hunting about on google for answers!
Last night my mate brought over his new iMac because he wanted me to install Bootcamp and VMWare as I have on my Macbook. My plan was to have a 200Gb Partition for MAC formatted in Mac Journeld, a 200Gb partition for Win7 formatted in NTFS and a third partition for Data/Media formatted in ExFAT...this was so it would be visible to both OS's. I installed Win7 via bootcamp without a problem and once it was completed I went into MACs disk utility and made the third partition.
This is where the problem is!!
Upon booting Win7 again in either VMWare or the normal bootcamp it would appear the Win7 partition has been effected and is no longer seen as a bootable volume. So I either would like help to restore the poorly installation of windows and if its possible to structure the partitions in the way I have...or I would like advice on how to reformat both the ExFAT and NTFS partition and just to make it one big drive again in the Mac Journeald format. Once I have done that I will just reinstalled Win7 via Bootcamp and equally divid the drives space for both Win7 and MAC OSX.
Hope that all makes sense and someone can help...my mates eager to get his new iMac up and running
Many Thanks
