Why didn't my Windows partition show up in the Startup Disk preference pane?
문제
I install Windows(XP after that 7) on my MBP with Boot Camp and every thing was fine but after a while in System Prefences -> Startup Disk my windows partition was lost and when I want to switch to my windows must restart my Laptop and Press Down option during startup. I can't switch directly from my OS X.
anyone know how can I solve this. or why this is happened?
해결책
Did you by any chance install the NTFS-3G driver?
It's a known bug (for quite some time, now). When installed, you can no longer have the Windows partition in the Startup Disk
prefpane.

You shouldn't have to eject your Bootcamp disk from your Desktop. As soon as you do that, it's unavailable to the system until you reboot.
A quick tip: if you don't want your Bootcamp drive to display on your OS X Desktop, boot into windows and then rename your C: drive to a name that starts with a period. OS X will treat it as a "hidden" file and not display the icon. Been using that trick since Bootcamp was in beta and have never had a problem with it.
I found a solution, if you haven't already. I'm assuming here that you have already uninstalled the NTFS-3G Driver
Browse to /yourhdd/Library/ and search that folder for a file called com.tuxera.NTFS.plist - I found mine in .../Library/Filesystems/NetFSPlugins
Open that file with a property list editor. I used Open with Property List Editor 2.1
Look for a Property, Disable Driver, change it's value to 1, and restart, should be fixed.
I had this issue with the latest version of Tuxera NTFS and El Capitan. I reinstalled Tuxera, restarted and all game good again. My bootcamp drive was accessible again via the desktop.
In the NTFS control panel, there is an option to uninstall. I did that, and, without restarting, I have the option again!
