I've just upgraded to Lion but am now unable to run BootCamp. It doesn't appear in the StartUp options when I restart and hold down the option key. It was all working fine immediately before the uprade.
Disk Utility sees disk0s4, which I believe is my BootCamp partition, but it is greyed out. I've tried Repair Disk but get the message " Invalid BS_impBoot in boot block: ecfcec".
Any ideas?

Yes. You need to use this on the OSX side as well. Instead of downloading it to a cd or USB device, I installed it directly on the OSX side. I would try running what you saved on to a cd or usb device on the OSX side. I hope this helps
bwl11,
can you elaborate on what you mean by running the Microsoft support software on the OSX side? Do we have to open something? I first saved the software on to an external hard drive and then transferred it to my Mac desktop. I restarted my Mac and held down the Option key, but nothing changed.
Your help and explantion will be appreciated. Thank you.
Best thing to do is to set up your hard drive with one partition exclusively for storage, accessable from Mac and Windows. Save everything there and all you got to worry about is reinstalling programs.
Also there are programs for Mac to read NTFS partitions so if you can't boot it at least you can go in a back up the files. There are programs to read Mac partitions from windows too.
bwl11,
Thanks for the reply but can you you please expand on what it was (hopefully step by step) you did to make windows work?
Thanks
