Linux on Mac?

Posted on January 11, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

hi all, got a major problemo here, i ran a SUSE Linux live cd on a friend’s mac. it worked quite fine when i tried returning to the mac OS the system gave me the following message “Cannot find Bootable Device”, which is strange cos the Mac OS was running just fine befor i restarted the system for the Linux live cd. the only thing i know i did was direct the Mac to use the CD-ROM as the first bootable device, i did this within the OS itself, i guess that’s what’s giving me problems. please how do i reverse the process.
Mean while i want to install Linux on the Mac, will it affect the files on the system.

If there is no solution ,suggest me best linux available which can be downloaded ‘for free’ and installed(not live cd) along with windows.If possible tell me how i can get the compatibility list of all available Linux.

Change File System without erasing data?

Posted on May 28, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I used to have at bootup the error like reboot and select proper boot device or insert media in boot device. Then I flagged the HD with Gnome (linux partition software live cd) as boot and I had the message NTLDR missing. I booted with the Recovery Console and entered FIXBOOT. It said MBS corrupted. Filesystem FAT!! I had NTFS. Now in gnome it says fat16 and “Unable to read the content of this filesystem”. It can’t tell me how much I used and everything. What can I do to keep my data? I don’t care about windows booting up. I also have knoppix as a live cd to retrieve it but it mounts with weird symbols as filenames and no folders or anything right. PLZ HELP!

Posted on April 3, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

Ok, my BIOS recognizes that the hard drive is there, but when I go to boot, I get a screen that says “No Bootable Device”… I can boot ‘Live CD’s’ but cannot get to the HDD…Any suggestions? What I did proir to the problem was try to load Damn Small Linux over Suse. Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
