but Startup Disk still refuses to see it even after a system reboot.

And the disk is bootable... it contains my Windows installation.
Because Startup Disk is looking for drives that are mounted by Apple's NTFS driver, so when anything else takes ownership of the drive, it doesn't list it.

For that to work again, you'd need to add the .ntfs-readonly file. Alternatively, just hold down the Option key when your Mac reboots (or turns on), and it will let you select the boot volume from there.

This isn't a problem with this package, it's a problem with how Startup Disk identifies bootable NTFS partitions.

Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter.
