Need Help: My BootCamp partition wont mount!

[JeremyK]

Hey all,

When I say BootCamp partition, I mean Windows 7.

I have a Tri-Boot setup on my Macbook

Mac OS X Snow Leopard > Windows XP > Windows 7

Now, Windows XP boots fine, and Windows 7 boots by holding F8 and going to the OS choices menu and selecting Windows 7.

But I cannot access the hard drive from Mac, I go into Disk Utility, and it is not mounted, I try to mount it, it doesnt work, I click verify, it says disk needs repairing, click repair disk, it cant do it.

For some reason, Mac seems to be recognising the 30GB NTFS partition as a 28GB HFS+ partition... Any reason why and can I fix it... Its not a major issue as Windows 7 still runs, but it is annoying not being able to see it on my Mac desktop.

Thanks

Okay... Now its worse

I tried booting into Windows 7, like I normally do, but it said "Please Insert Boot CD"

So I did... But it asked me to reinstall the OS, which I would end up losing all my files. So I quit the installation and tried booting into XP, but when I held the Option key, it only showed Macintosh HD

I went into Disk Utility in Mac and it showed both my XP HD and my 7 HD as unmounted, I tried mounting them, it didnt work.

I restarted and now it shoes XP HD as Disk0s5 and 7 HD as Disk0s7

Any suggestions?

I hate to triple post but it is now saying
"Disk Utility has lost connection with the Disk Management tool"

AKA: Its not recognising either Windows partitions.
