slammed87d21 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Like the title says, how do I dual boot the 2? I already have OSx86 installed on the whole HD. Can I just resize th partition with GParted, the do a standard Ubuntu install? All I've had are issues with this, so I really don't wanna reinstall for the 10th time this week. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

slammed87d21 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 you can actually reinstall GRUB and create a GRUB entry so you can choose to boot to Mac OS X. Sorry for the noob question, but how would I go about doing that? Install Ubuntu, and edit files? I have a Supergrub disc if that would help.

slammed87d21 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Ok, I've got Ubuntu installed and booting. I edited the grub file so I could boot OSX from the grub menu, but when I try to boot it, it says HFS+ filesystem error (i think). What did I do wrong? Here's what I added to the boot list: title Mac OS Xrootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/177618-how-do-i-dual-boot-osx86-and-ubuntu/#findComment-1214483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammed87d21 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I figured it out myself. If anyone wants to know how I did it, go to my blog at www.diyubuntu.blogspot.com . I just finished writing it there, so I'm not writing it again.
