I installed XP via Boot Camp a few weeks ago and it has worked just like it should. Yesterday when I held down the option key at startup, the only icon showing was Macintosh HD.

The XP partition is still on my desktop and is still in the start up pane of system preferences. It also shows up in disk utility, but when I look at the detail there it says "No" to bootable.

I would love to get some help......Thanks!

It appears that the Windows somehow got changed from bootable to not bootable. I chose it in the Start up disk section of Sys Pref and nothing happened, just a black screen with a blinking "-" in the upper left corner. Any help to get it back to a bootable partition would be very, very very much appreciated! Thanks!
