When you're booted into Ubuntu, can you paste this command into the terminal (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/terminal) and then post the output back here? sudo fdisk -l

't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Yeah. Looks as if you wiped out OS X completely.

Yeah. Looks as if you wiped out OS X completely.

No no, that is just the MBR, everything is still there. The usual effect is failure to load grub and linux, and the cure is to run the refit partiton tool to sync the mbr.

Have you got rEFIt?

[cysilver]

Are you using the ubuntu Desktop CD now, or what?

You can download refit in ubuntu and run gptsync.
But it shoud not stop you from booting macosx.
First try restarting while pressing 4 keys command-option-P-R
That might reset so Macosx starts.
Also the Macosx install DVD would be another way tocheck what happened.

If you have the Macosx install DVD, you can use that to set the startup disk to your Macosx, that may be it.

fdisk does not support GPT formatted hard drives such as those found in Intel Macs. It can only read the MBR partition table. parted does support gpt though:
sudo parted /dev/sda printwould list the partitions correctly.
