jsmithville Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Your bootloader has been overwritten. I would suggest using a boot-132 cd to get yourself back into OS-X and installing Chameleon (my preferred top level bootloader)... My preferred layout is this... Top lvl Chameleon bootloader: -MacOS from here -Linux boots via Grub (Grub on the PARTITION, not MBR) -Windows from here Briefly how to maintain this setup... You should install your grub to your linux partition. *Install grub to (hd0,y) where y is your linux partition (in grub numbers). Don't install to (hd0) (MBR). You will need to repair your bootloader occasionally (like after any (re)install of windows): 1) boot-132 to get into your OS X install 2) ./fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 *boot0 comes from the Chameleon distribution Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163945-dual-boot-lost/#findComment-1143305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
