    When I run Window Vista through bootcamp in my new MBP, there is an error shown like this:
    " Warning: Unrecognized partition table for driver 80. Please rebuild it using a Microsoft-compatible FDisk to ol(err=4)....."
    What does it mean? And solution? :confused:

    DO NOT rebuild it. That will screw up your boot partition and you wont be able to boot into OSX without a repair/reinstall. I believe the error you are getting is windows not being able to recognize the mac partition. Can anyone confirm that?

    That's just because silly Vista doesn't know what a Mac partition is...

    It's not an actual error. If you don't know what cotton candy is, that doesn't mean you're wrong.

    Thanks a lot for your response. I've worried about this issue for whole day.
    Sounds it's ok now
