URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition

URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition
I have recent bought a new Macbook Pro and then I start doing all the necessary setup. This is the first time I do such setup with bootcamp myself anyway.
1st: normal MacOS setup, the Lion version has been setup perfectly.
2nd: run the bootcamp and setup the Windows 7, done perfectly as well.
3rd: try to partition and resize the harddrive with the Lion installed and create 2 new FAT partitions (now 4 partitions in total: 1 for Lion, Journaled, 1 for Windows 7 in NTFS, 2 for file sharing purposes in FAT). See if I can have better partitioning to do necessary organisations.
4th: When I want to restart in Windows to see if the newly created 2 FAT partitions can be read in Windows environment and can function norally, the Windows setup does not show at the start up page when I hold the "Option" key during the startup. I then try to restart again, still no such partition but boot directly to Lion.
5th: I tried to repair the Windows 7 with the start up disc and then it worked. I can also see the 2 newly partitioned FAT drive work normally.
6th: When I want to restart in Lion, I cannot boot the Lion OS and I cannot find the start up icon on the startup page even with me holding the "Option" Key.
7th: "MacOS Installation Utility" appears. I tried to repair but cannot as I have neither the Lion setup disc with me (coz the Lion has been pre-installed) nor a time machine backup/ any other backup image to load from.
8th: Tried to "erase and install a new copy of Lion", the partition where the Lion has been previously installed cannot be shown, now indicate itself as "freespace" and not able to be selected for my "erase and reinstall" process.
9th: so I go to 2 other FAT drives to do as the instructions to try "erase" and hope the "reinstall" process can be started. But the Disk Utility ends up saying the drive cannot be dismounted/ cannot verfy...
At the end of the many tries, I tried to shut the computer down and restart again, hopefully something will work still.... the startup page now shows a disk image with ?, I guess NO OPERATION system/ drive detected for booting. So I got a piece of metals without any use now...
Anybody help? Thanks alot!!

In Windows, go to Control Panel -> System. Do you see a Boot Camp option? If you do not, please download BC drivers as appropriate for you specific Mac year/model System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support
and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.
The other option is to use
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support

install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further. You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

What does the iPhone/iPad OS have to do with Mavericks?
Mavericks does remove the scroll bars as they are not needed, but you can set them to show always in the General System Prefs.

Are you using DHCP to allocate IP addresses via your router or Static IP allocation?
You may have an IP conflict in your network.
Check on your various network configuration parameters in your iPad, PC and WiFi router.

Never used it myself, so I'm not sure if you can set to about:home or not. You'll have to give it a try.

How to make the document dirty after updating the links?

Hi,
I am using the below code to update the link resources by providing new URI. The link resources are getting updated, but the document is not becoming dirty.
                InterfacePtr<ICommand> updateCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kLinkResourceStateUpdateCmdBoss));
                InterfacePtr<ILinkResourceStateUpdateCmdData> updateCmdData(updateCmd, UseDefaultIID());
                updateCmdData->SetResource(ref.GetUID());
                updateCmdData->SetDatabase(ref.GetDataBase());
                updateCmdData->SetNotify(true);
                updateCmdData->SetUpdateAction(ILinkResourceStateUpdateCmdData::kUpdateURI);
                updateCmdData->SetURI(newURI);
                updateCmd->SetUndoability(ICommand::kRegularUndo);
                CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(updateCmd);
How do I make the document dirty after updating the resources?
Thanks,

Thanks. It is working fine.
I called PreDirty(docPtr), before updating the links.

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

How to change the Data sources after deploying the application ??

Hi All,
i want to know how to change the Data sources after deploying the application to the application server ???
I'm using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0)

Can you access the Enrprise Manager website of the target Application Server from your location? If so, you can change the datasource in it. If not, yo can bundle the datasource definition in your archive and use that one instead of the one configured in the target OC4J container. Or this will just be the responsability of your customer: whenever you send a new WAR file, they have to modify the datasource if needed and deploy the application?
