REfit bootloader overwrittern after installing Linux

Hello,

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 containing Mac OS X 10.9.3, Windows 7 and Linux Mint 16. I always was able to select either OS using REfit. I decided to upgrade Linux Mint to v 17. So I burned a DVD with the downloaded ISO image and installed Linux on /dev/sda5/ (root). BUT I also selected to have the bootloader installed on /dev/sda5/.  I think that messed things up...

 

Installation went fine but after reboot I got a GRUB bootloader (instead of the REfit bootloader) with 4 choices:

 

Linux Mint 17

Linux Mint 17 (Recovery mode)

Mac OS X (32bit)

Mac OS X (64bit)

 

Both Mac options result in a text screen ending with errors. I can only boot Linux. So I scrambled the bootloader.

 Ilost the REfit bootloader that lets me choose beteen Mac OS, Windows and Linux.

 

Mac OS and Windows 7 are still there, I can see them from Linux, I can´t boot them.

 

How can I restore REFit? Preferebly without reinstalling Mac OS X..

 

Thanks,

 

Marc
