My Macintosh HD startup disk disappeared today, but I was able to use GParted to delete a small partition from the drive and the missing disk reappeared.
Boot Camp Assistant got me into this hot water when I was preparing to reinstall XP. I had partitioned my harddrive into one 276 GB Mac partition and one 5 GB Windows partition, but decided to delete the Windows partition and start over. This time I used BCA and set the size of the new partition to 16 GB.
When running the XP installer, I noticed I was only shown a single 'C:' partition as an option for the install location. The first time I installed XP, I remember seeing two partitions listed with 'Unpartitioned space' between them in the list. Something didn't seem right, so I exited the installer and rebooted, holding the option key for the boot menu.
