i followed your items 1- 5... but seems there is nothing in item5..

here is the screen shot of the current situation.

many thanks!

I have expanded 20GB for the bootcamp partition.. it was working.. however, somehow it became like this..

Please bear with me... I know nothing in this aspect... But i will follow everything that has indicated to me!!

Hi Loner T,

sorry for the late reply.. Coz i ma living in the uk..

As followed the instructions, Command 3 and 5 still the same. And I've tried to replace the "rBootcampDisk with rdisk0s4 count=1 2>" to "rBootCampDisk with

rdisk0s4". but it appeared unknown operand.

Here was i have done yesterday,

I have OS X and Win7

OS X was 195 GB and Win7 was 55GB, I made 20GB from OS X's partition to unallocated spaces, and back to Win7, used a software to expand the 20GD into the bootcamp. it was fine when i have done it. after a couple of hours, i back home, and i was formatting one of my external hard-disk to exFAT (however, the external hard-disk cannot be recognised in mac if i format it in Windows, or the other way round.)

anyway. it just HAPPENED after i formatted the external hard-disk..........

that's the whole story....

and i found out that, the 20GB did expanded in Bootcamp, but back to OS X, the 20GB appears in grey, and shown that the Bootcamp is still 55GB.

many many thanks!!!!
