Damn! I just spent more than an hour and a half documenting how I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in dual-boot, but the Ubuntu forums engine reset itself and I lost it all. Grumble! Will attempt it once more...

1. Made fresh partitions on the Macbook...

In brief:

Clonezilla! Just what the doctor ordered. Makes the task even easier, thanks! Me thinks will use clonezilla to not only backup, but transfer the clone of the smaller hard-disk to a newer, larger...

Thanks buntoLo for the clarifications. The all-powerful dd seems to be the safest choice with no compression. Will also verify the clone before i proceed to ensure no bits were harmed in the cloning....

Thanks majortom67, for your quick reply. Unfortunately am lost in the haze with MBRs and rEFIt. All that I gather is that there are 3 partitions, so mac stays in one, ubuntu 9.04 in one, and win in...

I have a MacbookPro 5,1 with 2GBRAM, which successfully dual-boots with Ubuntu 9.04 since a year.
I wish to urgently install ubuntustudio, and also wish to have one or perhaps two more partitions,...

Does the firmware upgrade brick it? have read some random reports on cnet's site by readers. some have dutifully followed the firmware upgrade to find it bricked. just downloaded the 15 july 2010...
