Hey all,

My first attempt to install a Windows 7 partition hasn't gone well.

Whilst installing Windows 7 the setup crashed, I restarted my Macbook Pro and there was no boot options available. Booting from my Windows 7 DVD and the start of the Windows 7 install just crashes, booting from my Snow Leopard DVD and the partition I made for windows 7 doesn't exist in the Disk Utility.

I've managed to boot from the OSX dvd into Snow Leopard, version 10.7.4.

Here the Windows 7 partition doesn't show in the disk utility either. :confused:

Ummm, help? :p

I just want to get the partition back and try the install again.

*edit*

Fixed it! Did a bit of googling, I did a NVRAM reset by pressing Cmd, Option, P, R on start up.

Once booted the empty partition reappeared in the disk utility. :)
