(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); generally when i press the option key when booting, it will show mac / recovery / windows


but now i partitioned my hard drive once more... so now it has something like Mac HD / BOOTCAMP / BOOTCAMP2

BUT it also randomly generated a 1.06 GB partition that says "will be left as free space".

also, now when i press the option key when booting, it only shows mac/recovery


where did my windows go? Sad Awesome

of course, i can use startup disk in system preferences to start in windows...

its not like the windows partition disappeared, just doesnt show when choosing during bootup, and it makes me feel unsecure :p


---- edit -----
i can see that there is a windows in startup disk

HOWEVER, when i select it and say to boot with it, my laptop gives me a black screen saying "no bootable device" or something like that... and i havent touched any files Sad Awesome
