Am 19. Apr, 2009 schwätzte Kurt Granroth so:
Say you are experimenting with dual-booting OS X (hackintosh) on your
existing Linux machine. A word of advice: do NOT let Disk Utility touch
your existing Linux drive in any way. At all! Not even to reformat one
innocent little unused partition!
Thanks for the warning.
If you do, then when you reboot, the BIOS won't recognize your partition
map at all and even grub won't work. Reinstalling grub isn't enough,
either... you'll need to use fdisk to rewrite your partition table.
Use sfdisk to backup your partition tables.
sudo sfdisk -d
Throw that into a log file once in a while.
Oh, and make sure to be getting a copy on another box or that log won't
help you :).
ciao,
