Hi guys

I can't get my Mac Pro to power on, the button doesn't respond at all. I suspect the power supply is dead, so if anyone has a spare they're willing to sell, or knows where to buy one at a reasonable price, please let me know.

I'm based in the UK but willing to pay shipping from overseas if the total cost is reasonable.

Thanks

I'd set up a triple boot on my system with Snow Leopard as the primary OS, Windows 7 as secondary, and Ubuntu as tertiary. This worked fine for a number of months, but my Windows partition has since disappeared in both Mac Disk Utility, and the Chameleon boot menu. What's strange is that all the partitions still look fine if I boot into Ubuntu and use GParted to view them. See screenshots below.

Any ideas what's going on here? I suspect it may be something to do with the GPT/MBR relationship, but I'm not entirely sure. If it helps, here is my partition table from fdisk in the Mac - I presume this is set up so that the MBR isn't used, and the whole disk is configured as one partition:
