iCarbonite Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Well I installed Leopard on my HP Compaq laptop and everything went fine, I found out I need a USB Keyboard, which i'm too lazy to buy, so i've decided against installing Leopard on it. For some stupid reason, I unflagged or unmounted the partition that Leopard was on. Now, since I didn't dual boot, I think it over-writ my Windows 7. I have my Windows 7 ISO, I don't think it's bootable, (hehe stupid piratebay), so I'm screwed. I want to know how to re-flag the Mac partition. Also, anybody know where I can get a bootable Windows 7? :F I know I have to use fdisk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have attached a guide, which I made for problems like this. Hope this fixes your problem, and please do exactly what you're told to in the guide.
