Dear all,

I've MacBook with me. I've installed Windows XP SP2 successfully. After that i've installed MacFUSE, NTFS-3G on MacOSX to read/write data on Windows XP partition. I can see Window XP partition on MacOS desktop but I cannot see the "Window or Untitled" volume icon within System Startup Disk window (MacOS : System References -> Startup Disk), there are only MacOS and Network Setup icons. How can I make the "Window or Untitled" volume icon visible in Startup Disk window? Is it possible to do that ? Is is caused by the BootCam Assistance defects ?

Note: I can boot Windows XP manually by holding Alt (Option) key during the starting up then I can choose the Windows OS. Windows OS boots successfully.

Any suggestion is always appreciated.

im having the same problem here. And according to the amount of posts that have been put up....its a mystery =[
any help would be appreciated! =]
 
This is a direct download link. People tend to find those untrustworthy, so rather link to an info-page about the product you're advocating. I'm not sure rEFIt is the way to go here. There must be a reason why the volume doesn't show up in the Finder anymore, and if we know what caused it, I'm pretty sure there can be a solution rather than a workaround.

Can the volume be mounted again via Disk Utility? If so, does it stay after a reboot (to Mac OS X, of course)?
 
ive searched a lot of forums and none seem to have an answer to this. the disk is already mounted, some people cannot see the windows partition in startup, i cant see either... Theres also a program called bootchamp. it lets you choose to restart to windows and it lets you choose from a dropdown menu on the upper right thanks
