Can't see Windows 7 Boot Camp partition from Mac

I've had a Win7 boot partition on my 2011 MBP for a while and it boots just fine. I have a Mac boot partition, a Mac data partition, and a NTFS Win 7 partition. But the Boot Camp partition is greyed out and invisible when booted in to the Mac.

When in Windows, I can see and use the Mac partition from Win7 with MacDrive. The problem is that I cannot see the Windows partition from the Mac. I have Paragon NTFS for Mac installed as well as MacFuse. I tried to see the partition with CampTune and got this error:

I also tried going to the BootCamp Assistant and saw this:

Yet when booted in Windows, I see the Mac partition just fine.



Here is the disk info from terminal:

Does anyone know if I can repair this without having to re-format? I have a 13" White MacBook as well and this setup works just fine. I did it such a long time ago that I forgot how I did the first one.


There is another thread on here that similar but not quite like my problem because I ca actually boo into Windows.


If anyone can help it would certainly be appreciated!


Thanks,

Randy
