From: Howard on 15 Mar 2010 11:40 Hi all, Snow Leopard v 10.6.2 and WindowsXP. All has been well since I got a new drive last year and reinstalled the Bootcamp. However just now I booted up in Mac and ... I used to see two drives on my desktop. MacHD, and the partition for windows (can't remember the name ..) But today I see MacHD and the windows one is called "BOOTCAMP". I am disconcerted. Should I worry ? It opens ok and the MacOS is working fine... I have my backups done.. but don't want to have to go through a resinstall again... Howard

When in OSX I noticed the chnage in name. I was running 10.6.2 however I had not used bootcamp for several months so could have been a chnage in an earlier version -- Mark |
