I installed Windows 7 using bootcamp on my Early 2011 MBP. I gave 130GB to Win7 and rest to Mac HD. Once all was done, I created a new partition within Mac HD. The partition was created successfully but when I restarted computer and pressed "option" key, I was not able to see the Windows(boot camp), only Mac HD and Recovery HD.

How to fix that, is it not possible to have further partition after boot camp? Coz if I created partitions earlier to boot camp, boot camp assistant gives error of making one single partition.

need urgent help on this.

Same problem over here. Did you ever find a solution? – David Lively Jun 26 '12 at 15:23
I suspect your GPT and Hybrid MBR partition tables might have gone out of sync, or your bootcamp partition got removed from the MBR (but not GPT) because of the 4-partition-limit. Can you post the output of the following terminal commands: diskutil list disk0, sudo gpt -r show disk0, and sudo fdisk /dev/disk0 ? (these will show the partition layout as OSX sees it, and the the raw GPT and MBR partition tables, respectively) – pmjordan Jul 2 '12 at 17:45
