Hello!
I have recently purchased an iMac i5 mid 2011. I love it, the issue is.... I miss KDE so much. I want to dual boot. So, I have installed Reefit and partitioned my partitions with Disk Utility. I installed Linux first. It showed up in ReeFIt no problems, then when I installed Windows 7, Kubuntu now does not show up in the boot menu. The partition is still there, I did not format it or anything. In Disk Manager, I can still see it by the name of:disk0s5. Please help me to get it to show back up in ReeFIt, thanks! ALSO: How do I make it so that when I boot into Kubuntu it syncs with my Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard (Both are from Apple. They are blue tooth) and when I reboot into OSX it will sync with them no problems. Before my Linux partition disappeared from my boot loader I tried to use both my keyboard and mouse in Kubuntu, when I would get it working into Kubuntu I would boot in to OSX and it would need to be re recognized, then if I booted back into Kubuntu I would need to reconnect it again. I'm using Maverik Meerkat. (I would use Natty Narwal but it is far too buggy) Thanks very very much! |

when you installed Windows 7 after Linux 7 overwrote grub (cause thats what MS does), if you Google you'll see things like this http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista ... talled.htm and http://lifehacker.com/5531037/how-to-tr ... p-required
no experience on this kind of thing seems you can recreate Grub using super grub disk (no idea if it'll work or what it will break), post on a Mac or reefit forum or reinstall Kubuntu (guessing this is the safest) Please use a bit more descriptive subject (terms like dual boot, reefit, missing in boot menu) in the future. The syncing really should be a separate thread. I'd guess in the Network Management -> manage connections -> edit the blue tooth connection -> click "connect automatically", again don't have so I'm guessing |

Hey.
Im tripple booting. OSX first then Linux then Windows. A reinstall of Linux might do it. Just wondering why it is doing it on my iMac as my Macbook did it just fine in the same order. Thanks anyway. |
