I think the partition syncing issue was fixed in jaunty.
Try shutting down and restarting again a couple of times (not rebooting). If that doesn't help, you may need to reinstall grub as indicated...
Just as a future reference, I wouldn't mess with the flags manually. Let OSX and the installers set them as they seem to do it correctly. Plus there is a bug in gparted that can mess up FAT32...
(hd0,3) would be the 4th partition on the primary hard drive...
(hd0,1) would be the second partition (likely OSX)
(hd0) would install to the MBR
This happens when the windows bootloader is...
Reinstall GRUB as shown in the second part of the first post.
Nope, that is a different issue. Windows doesn't like when you mess with partitions after it has been installed.
you can burn the .cdr image to disc from any computer. If you need a burning application, I would suggest ImgBurn:

Can you not boot OSX by holding Option on startup?
I don't know why this would affect your ability to boot from a CD, or use keyboard combos on startup. That sort of stuff is built into the firmware of your mac.
For your WiFi, post a new thread and give the output of lspci. I think I know what it is though.
I assume you synced the partition tables as shown in the beginning of this thread? Can you post the content of the Partition Tool (part of refit, located in your /Applications/Utilities folder in OSX)
No, it is the opposite. You cannot boot a legacy OS from an external hard drive, USB or Firewire. (You can if you create a boot partition on your internal drive, but that is still technically booting...
Unfortunately, refit will only sync the partitions on your primary hard drive although I think that the gptsync command can be installed in Ubuntu and can sync partitions elsewhere.
You will not...
You usually get this error because the partitions have changed on the disk after you have installed Windows. There is really no "fix" other than to try reinstalling. This has been happening to people...
Um, you might have to explain what you mean, and maybe start a new thread as I don't think what you are asking has anything to do with this thread.
Answer is in the original thread:

Yea grub is not the culprit here. It does not touch your windows files. You might try booting from the windows disc into recovery mode and using the fixmbr command.
There is nothing special needed to install Ubuntu on your Mac Mini. Just put in the disc and boot it up. In the installer, tell it to use the entire drive.
Use boot camp to resize your osx partition, then boot the Ubuntu LiveCD, and delete the fat32 partition. start the installer and choose to install to the free space. after you have configured the...
For those getting the two Linux Icon issue, it is because there are two instances of Grub installed, one in the MBR and one on the Ubuntu partition. you should remove the one from the MBR:...
that is dependent on where the boot flag is set in your partition table.
please create new threads for other issues.
I added info to fix the refit freeze issue!
I still think you might have other problems with your partitions. If you are getting freezing with the default Mac chooser (by holding option) then this is likely a bug in Ubuntu, not refit......
Intel Macs with Hardy 'no bootable devices'
After installing Ubuntu on an Intel Mac, you may get a 'no bootable devices' error or simply a blinking cursor after choosing Ubuntu with rEFIt., or no other operating systems show up at all when...
