OK.
I jacked my ability to boot into windows and never quite did get to RHEL. I don't really care if I can boot RHEL at all, although it would be nice, I'd just like to not have to reinstall windows, and I don't want to lose my ability to boot into MacOS X, as it's the only functioning OS I have right now...
I'll dump disk util's output.
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *256.1 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS MacOS X System Disk 85.4 GB disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data 85.3 GB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data 209.7 MB disk0s4
5: Linux LVM 41.9 GB disk0s5
I'm sure I went wrong writing the MBR with the RHEL install, I had a feeling at that point I needed to do something different because I was using GUID partitioning scheme. Might it be as simple as booting off my windows CD and having it fix it? My very limited understanding of GUID has me believe it fakes out windows into thinking it uses MBR.
I'm looking for simple fixes. I don't care about the Linux install AT ALL. I'd rather just not go through the pain of installing windows 7 again, and most importantly I don't want to lose my MacOS X install and have to do it again. I regret not taking the time when I originally did this to properly install a bootloader.
Ideas?
