Can't I get back to my boot camp Windows?

Howdy,

The other day I installed Vista 64bit over my 32bit version of Vista in boot camp (I removed the 32bit and started again), and have been using the Vista 64bit partition ever since.

Well I just booted into OS X Leopard again, and now Leopard cannot see my Windows Partition? And when going into Startup disk in system prefs, it cannot see my Windows. So how on earth do I get back into my Windows partition? If Leopard cannot see it, then I'm screwed right?

Is there a way to select the disk on boot, or can it only be done in OS X? Disk Utility see the partition, but it lists it as FAT32, when its definitely NTFS!

I'm assuming this is a 64bit windows thing isn't it!

Any help will be appreciated, I need my Windows installation back :(

Shouldn't be, doesn't matter what OS is installed on it, it's just a partition with files on it.

Well eitherway, Leopard cannot see it. Disk Utility says its disk01 (or sumin similar... can't remember now), and its transparent like it doesn;t have a clue what it is.

Startup Disk just shows Primary (OS X) and Network Servers, the activity icon disappears meaning that all. It just don't see it, which is very strange as my 32bit install of Vista previous was seen no problem.

Windows Boot Camp control panel sees both no problems. So if I want to get back to windows from OS X I have to use the ALT/Option method on boot. If that didn;t exist, or didn't see my Windows install I would never be able to get back into Windows :)
