Installed Backtracked now can't find Chimera to boot.

[boynep]

Hello everyone,

I have two 128GB ssd's and one HD. I am using one SSD for OSX; One for storing my virtual machines. And the 500GB HD I was using for backup. However, I wanted to test something on Backtrack(Variant of Ubuntu) and VM wasn't doing the job for me as I only have internal wifi card. I partitioned the 500GB HD and made it 400 for time machine backup and 100GB for Backtrack.

Now, I booted into Backtrack and installed in the selected partition. When I rebooted it can't find my chimera neither can my computer boot into Backtrack. I can boot fine using unibeast usb and boot into OSX.

I have tried installing chimera again but no luck.

Could anyone help as to what did I do wrong and how it can be solved please.

Regards,
boynep.

I'm guessing your Linux install overwrote your stage0 boot record. You will need to re-install the boot record manually or using Chameleon Wizard (best to install boot0md). The Chimera installer will not overwrite a grub boot record...

Thank your for your quick reply. I didn't know it existed. I know now and it fixed it.

Cheers,

P.S I will try installing again without overwriting the boot manager now.
