Bootcamp partition disappeared

Hi,


I had a standard bootcamp install that was working fine, and then on day it decided to disappear as an available boot drive. Indications are the partition is still there, but I can't mount it. I have not modified the config of the machine (ie. upgraded to 10.8 or messed with the partitions) How can I access the volume so that can at least back it up. I am fully willing to nuke and pave, but I would like to get the data out of windows if at all possible. By way of diagnostics I'm including some data from gdisk in hopes that someone out there can give me some guidance. TIA

Try startup repair if you have a Windows installation disk or a Repair disk that you made.
