Macos – Make BOOTCAMP partition active/bootable on Snow Leopard

bootboot-campmacos

I upgraded my main hard drive which had a bootcamp partition on it. I made a DMG of the boot camp partition and then later restored it on a new partition (on the new drive) using Boot Camp Assistant.

Now all of the files are there but it is not bootable. When I press Option upon boot, I'm only presented with my main partition.

I followed the instructions here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10835653

which basically said, use fdisk to flag the partition as bootable, but it seemed to have no effect.

Any ideas?

Is the partition seen when you open the Startup Disk preference pane under System Preferences?
