Have I fixed my partition problem with os x 10.5.8? Are my GPT and MBR back to normal?
- by David Schaap
I'm new to linux and I have overstepped by abilities. I tried dual booting os x 10.5.8 with ubuntu 11.10 with rEFIt, but I been having problems with partitioning. Instead of enduring more headaches, I've made the decision to simply use ubuntu on VirtualBox. I've tried to return my HDD to normal, but I am looking for confirmation that my partitions are ok. Here is the report from partition inspector:
*** Report for internal hard disk ***
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 409640 233917359 Mac OS X HFS+
Current MBR partition table:
# A Start LBA End LBA Type
1 1 234441647 ee EFI Protective
MBR contents:
Boot Code: GRUB
Partition at LBA 409640:
Boot Code: None
File System: HFS Extended (HFS+)
Listed in GPT as partition 1, type Mac OS X HFS+
Also, my HDD directory has a bunch of extra folders in them and they appear to be ubuntu related, although it is no longer installed. folders like bin, sbin, cores, var, user, and so on. Those folders aren't supposed to be there, right?
Thanks in advance.
