allenbina Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Short story: I can see my partition table in osx86 and somewhat in vista, but not at all in ubuntu which I rely on for partitioning. I think my tinkering in osx messed it up. Long Story: I had Vista, Ubuntu and XP installed in that order on my hard drive. I wanted to add osx86 to my drive, so I had to do some moving around. Using clonezilla, i cloned my drive and went to work moving things around to make it Vista, OSX86, XP then a partition for ubuntu and possible future linux operating systems. Everything went well except XP did not get transferred correctly. While playing around I messed up and restored my boot sector when trying to move xp back, but I got it back, except I noticed I can't see my partitions in Ubuntu anymore. I don't know exactly what I did or when it happened, I just can't see the partition table anymore. Does osx change the partition table at all so that other operating systems can't read it correctly?
