hi, first time poster, very new macbook owner.

 

just successfully set up a brand new macbook 9,1 as a triple boot:

OSX, Win7, Ubuntu 13.04, with a common data sharing drive.

 

all the installations work well, very happy about that.

 

one issue i have is that on the refit menu there are options to boot to:

1. OSX

2. OSX recovery

3. Windows 7

4. Linux

5. Windows 7

 

both Win7 options work to boot to windows so it is not a big issue but it would be nice to fix it up so that the only options were:

1. OSX

2. Win7

3. Linux

 

I would hate to mess things up now that I have gotten so far, so I was hoping that someone here would have some advice. There is a link to this forum from the refit resources page so I figure this is the place to start my inquiry.

 

here is the output of a partition inspector scan:
