Bootcamp not showing up in boot loader

Today I needed to resize my Windows Vista Ultimate partition for work, so I used Disk Utility to crate an image from the partition. After that I used Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition, and then create a larger partition. After this was done I went back into Disk Utility and restored the partition using the image I created earlier.
In OS X I can mount the partition and access the files and it seems everything was restored correctly. When I restart my machine and hold down the Option key to bring up the boot loader, Bootcamp is no longer an option. The only partition I can boot from is HD.
Please help! Thanks

Did you actually Install a version of Windows into that Boot Camp Partition? It doesn't sound like you did.
You'll need a copy of Windows 7 or 8, 64bit, and a valid license key code for whatever version you plan on installing.

  • OS X Mavericks not showing up in boot menu?

    Hi,
    I recently applied to the OS X Yosemite Beta program and downloaded and installed the Beta. I have a 1TB Hard drive in my MacBook Pro which is was partitioned in two partitions, one for OS X Mavericks and one for Bootcamp. I decided I wanted to keep my original partitions intact so I installed the Yosemite beta onto an external hard drive so I wouldn't affect my main system. The Yosemite Beta installed and booted fine from the external hard drive but when I rebooted my computer I was presented with option to boot into my Bootcamp partition or an OS X Yosemite Installer. I can boot into Windows fine but not OS X Mavericks. The OS X Mavericks partition is still intact but does not show up during start up. I tried using a third-party bootloader like rEFIt but doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is an image showing my boot menu, the items in orange are my external hard drive with the Yosemite Beta on it.

    Thanks for the reply, I managed to solve my problem by forcibly unmounting the install partition and booting into Bootcamp (My only option). From there I selected my OS X Mavericks partition from the Bootcamp menu in Windows and I rebooted successfully into it. For some reason it still wont show up in the boot menu  but rEFIt now works and will detect it along with the Bootcamp partition

  • OS X not showing up in boot camp control panel

    Hi, I am using mac book pro with OS X mavericks. Recently I installed windows 8.1 with boot camp assistant. It  was all running fine. I partitioned my windows 8.1 drive to a new volume. When I did this,my OS X disappeared in bootcamp control panel. It not showing up in the list of OS's when we boot the machine. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If you are not seeing the OS X partition while holding down the option/alt key during a restart, it appears your Boot Camp installation damaged the OS X partition, which is probably why it is not showing up in the Boot Camp control panel.
    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then select the Macintosh HD partition and re-install the OS.

  • Windows 7 boot key not showing up in boot menu.

    I have installed the Windows 7 ISO to a flash drive to use on boot up, using the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5488789?tstart=0
    I have a Late 2009 iMac and the optical drive is broken; that's why I had to use those instructions and intend to use a boot key.  However, when I boot up with the option key, the only options presented are Macintosh HD and Recovery HD.  No Windows boot or EFI boot to be found.  Does anyone know why this might be?  I have gone through the partitioning process in Boot Camp Assistant.  I really don't know why it's not showing up.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
    Screenshot provided for reference.

    Christopher,
    I can't think offhand of why it would not come back like this (but if you have configured ZPM to use content-repo to store its bundles I would recommend getting http://download.novell.com/Download?...d=f0VuQBxq8DI~ as that fixes problems where a patch isn't cached, even though it thinks it is). Does the patch status tab show any errors? Otherwise we're basically going to need to look at logs...

  • W520: Unable to boot from USB - device does not show up in boot menu

    I have a W520, and I am trying to boot from a USB key. The USB key is bootable, my old T61p boots just fine from it, and so does another computer I tried.
    The W520, after pressing F12 on power on, immediately shows the Intel PXE agent and then some blue boot menu, which only shows hard drive and LAN as available boot options.
    I have tried all three USB ports but the results are always the same - the USB device does not show up. Is there any trick or BIOS setting to enable boot from USB?
    Thanks,
        CS 

    Hello Neil
    Thanks for getting back to me
    The issue was that the usb drives were disabled in the bios from the  Startup menu.
    To enable
    1. Enter bios
    2. Select boot
    3. If you do not see the boot device you require use the down cursor key until the "Excluded from boot priority order" becomes visible.
    4. Select the device you require (in my case USB HDD)
    5. Save and exit.
    You can now boot from a usb stick and install the Linux distro of your choice :-)
    Cheers

  • Captivate 5 quiz review not showing correct answers when loaded to LMS

    Hello All. I would really appreciate some help please. Despite the quiz review working correctly when published, i.e. both 'your answer' and 'the correct answer' captions appear in the review, on loading to LMS the review caption does not show the 'the correct answer is' , but instead 'you did not answer this question completely'.
    Any ideas why this should be the case? I've attached screen shots of my quiz preferences for completenes.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Janey

    Do the same modules evidence this behaviour when published and played outside the LMS, e.g. from a web server or on your hard drive?
    If not, it's possible that some setting in the LMS is over-riding what happens at playback.  You could try checking the box under LMS Customisation for Never Send Resume Data and see if that seems to make any difference.  If the LMS is maintaining a record of some previous attempt at the same module then turning off Resume Data might show that up.

  • It appears that the content of news articles is not showing up when I load them. The sites where I have had the issue are Reuters, Financial Post Canada.

    When I click on the article, the body text of the article does not show up. The hyper links in the article do show up. and also on the home page for the National Post - http://www.nationalpost.com/ (error in my initial question, it is not the Financial post), the articles on the home page only show the headlines etc.

    Try deleting your hotmail account and then adding it back as an Outlook account instead of "other". It worked for me.

  • Optical Drives Not Showing Up in Boot Menu / HDD

    why doesn't  my  dvd rom drive  show up in boot menu in my HP ENVY DV7-7250US with window 8  and how do i fix the problem could it be the dvd drive gone  bad /  i ordered   recovory disk  from hp i am wondering if i ccan i use the recovery disk on a brand new HDD ??

    Hi:
    In order to boot from a DVD, you need to change some BIOS settings.
    Please read this info for what BIOS settings to change so you can boot from a DVD:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03736054&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
    You should be able to use the disks on a new HDD as long as the storage size of the new HDD is at least as large as the one you replaced.

  • Burnt windows install disk not showing up in boot camp

    im trying to install windows xp using bootcamp, but everytime i insert the windows disk, it reads it as a blank disk. i have mad a 30gb partition so im not over the 32gb, i had heard that was better for compatibility.
    is there anything i can do to help it recognize the disk? or do i just have to buy an authentic one?

    your mac seems to think you had installed windows before
    do you have more than 1 partition on your drive, if so, boot camp assistant will not work
    if not, restart your mac and do a pram reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    open bca and try again

  • "Install Windows 7 or later version" check box not showing up in Boot Camp

    I am following a Reddit guide to dual boot Windows 7 on my late-2011 MBP. I've done every step up to installing Windows 7, but there is no check box to "Install Windows 7 or later" in Boot Camp. I've tried several other resources but none mention this. There is a "Remove Windows 7 or later version" check box which has a description stating it can install a Windows partition as well, but when I select it and click to go ahead it only has a selection to remove a Windows partition. I hope I'm just having a brain **** here, because I've been at this for a minute and it's causing hair loss at 21. Haha.
    Ohh, and here's the guide I'm following: http://sampower.ie/windows-7-on-mavericks-via-bootcamp-and-usb/

  • LVM drives not showing on sucessfull boot (/root is on lvm)

    I really don't know how this is possible but I have my system booting. It works fine till it makes it to checking filesystem then it complains that it can't find device /dev/mapper/array-root. That is the location of the root filesystem the one it's booting. It then drops me to a maintenance shell. I went into /etc/fstab and changed the pass on my 2 lvm mounts to 0 and I now boot into a working system.
    When I check mount it shows that root is /dev/mapper/array-root
    but when i go to /dev/mapper/ it does not exist.
    I have uselvm="yes" in /etc/rc.conf
    I really don't know whats going on here it seems like it's not detecting the lvm volumes even though it's booting off one.
    Any help would be really great.

    Have you added 'lvm2' to your hooks array in mkinitcpio.conf?

  • When I go to my webpage it comes up blank I right click to get the page info and it is not showing the media and load images is checked

    I have an online business and when I go to my websites they come up blank. I went to the same site on my other pc and it loads just fine. When I checked the page info and compared the two the one that loads ok shows general, media, permissions and security and the other shows everything but media. How can I get this back? I've checked everything I can think of. Load images is checked

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
    the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
    It does not use SD cards.
    Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
    Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
    But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.
