All,
Hi, Ubuntu newbie here, so I would really appreciate the help, and please be gentle. I have an MSI Wind U100 Netbook that I was running a Hackintosh version of Mac OS X 10.5.7 on. I booted the laptop with a USB drive of the Ubuntu netbook remix OS on it. I wanted to install the netbook OS, but I also wanted to keep my OS X system on there.
I used the Ubuntu partition utility to create a new partition for the Ubuntu OS, and then I resized and moved over the Mac OS X partition. I didn't delete or format it though. It was my hope that this process would allow me to dual boot the laptop on startup. However, this has not happened. When I boot the laptop it goes right into Ubuntu with no option to boot to the Mac OS. However, the Mac partition definitely still exists, and all of files are definitely still in it, as I can mount it as a drive in Ubuntu.
So, what did I do wrong? What do I do to create the option to dual boot into Ubuntu or Mac on startup? Thanks so much for the help.
