cbmkgd Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 give us a list of what your partitions are, in what order, of what type (primary, logical, extended), and what they contain (which os). also, give us here what you wrote for the osx entry in menu.lst (within code tags please). in any case, search for "error 13" (quotes included) in insanelymac.

Alessandro17 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 First: OS X needs a primary partition, possibly active. Second: I prefer installing OS X in a separate HD, as the first and last time I installed it in the same HD as Windows and Linux I made a mess. Third: when I install Linux I install GRUB to partition, not to the MBR. And finally I use Acronis OS Selector. By taking all the above precautions I never have any serious trouble, especially not with OS X.

cbmkgd Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 there can be problems when osx is installed in a primary partition placed after the extended partition, in which case aoss or other 3rd-party bootmanager can't do much by themselves. that's why for your LAPTOP i asked about more info concerning your partitions.

Nitramusa Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi, this is the order: 1. Primary: Windows XP 2. Primary: Mac OS X 3. primary: Ubuntu 7.04 Linux 4.Extended: -Linux Swap -FAT32 for Data Storage I really don't know whats wrong.. I entered entries for Mac OS X in GRUB... Btw what does MBR means? I think that GRUB is just installed on my Ubuntu partition i guess, i installed it standard.. Btw i used this guide on http://digitalstuff07.blogspot.com/2007/05...le-booting.html but i used XP instead of Vista... I entered: title Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8 rootnoverify (hd0,2) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Help is appreciated!

cbmkgd Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 standard ubuntu installs grub to the mbr; you'd need the 'advanced' ubuntu cd to install within the partition's bootsector. In the guide you followed, the guy/girl installed osx to the third partition, and linux on the second. You installed osx to the second, ubuntu to the third. So you should write (hd0,1) above in your menu item for osx (disk and partition numbers are 0-based in that notation). What did you write for the Ubuntu item in the menu.lst? Alternatives are using "root" instead of "rootnoverify", and/or "chainloader --force +1" instead of "chainloader +1", if your modified menu.lst doesn't work as is. For more info, check OSx86's Wiki's Grub In Short article. MBR? Wiki for MBR.
