I have tree 4 partitions my MacBook: $ sudo parted /dev/sda GNU Parted 1.7.1 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Disk /dev/sda: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 5503MB 5503MB primary ext3 2 5503MB 68.1GB 62.6GB primary ext3 3 68.1GB 79.9GB 11.8GB primary hfs+ boot 4 79.9GB 80.0GB 132MB primary linux-swap So, to make a short story I dd the hfs+ partition and installed Ubuntu after converting the partition type to MS-DOS, and then dd the hfs+ partition back to /dev/sda3. I'm now able to mount it and read its content from within Ubuntu. But I would like to boot it using GRUB when needed (if possible). So I configured my /boot/grub/menu.lst file like this: title Mac OS X root (hd0,2) chainloader +1 But I get the Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. Any idea about how I could make this happen? Many thanks for your time and help. -- Gabriel Labelle
