I can still see the partition that I made for it a few months ago, but it appears that I would have to delete and reinstall Linux to boot into it again. Disk utility recognizes Windows and macOS, but it won't recognize the Linux partition, even as a Linux filesystem. Now, on this fresh install of macOS (the most recent version, 10.13.2).
I reinstalled macOS because I keep a backup copy of all of my data so this wasn't a big deal to me. Both the Linux and macOS partitions were unmountable, both from disk utility and from the terminal.Īt this point, I called Apple Support and their only advice was to wipe the entire disk and reinstall all three operating systems. Here, the disk utility program only recognized the Bootcamp partition as the only valid partition. Next, I booted into recovery mode on the native machine (letting the machine download the internet recovery mode device). It was blank space, in the eyes of this live USB disk utility program. The macOS partition was not recognized as a valid partition at all. The Linux partition was only recognized as a Linux filesystem. The Windows partition was recognized as a Bootcamp Windows partition. The sizes of each of the partitions were correct, however something odd was going on. The disk utility program from the live USB could see the three partition that I had-one for macOS, one for Windows, and one for Linux.
When I did so and I opened up disk utility. I booted up into macOS from a recovery USB that I had handy. Yep, macOS and Linux were both unable to be seen from the boot loader after holding down the option key when restarting the machine the only bootable device was Windows. Instead, I saw the macOS boot loader, only the only bootable device was windows. I restarted the machine, held down option (entered in my firmware password), and expected to see the rEFInd boot loader (mistakenly, of course). I did this using boot camp.Īfter Windows was done doing its thing and the boot camp Windows add-ons were installed, I tried to switch back to the macOS side of the machine. The install was successful and my boot loader we rEFInd.Ī few days ago, I decided that I needed to install Windows (I was itching to play some good ole' AoE 2!). Everything was good for those few months until now. In this guide, I was instructed to install rEFInd I did. A few months ago I installed Ubuntu on my mac I was dual booting.
