Re: boot problem
Good morning Lina
I don't get that the partitions aren't showing sda1 to sda15. I would expect osx to be on sda3 or sda4 from memory. And my version of osx didn't have a separate swap partition. So what are the other missing partitions?
Are there any other partitions listed in the devices section of your file manager that didn't mount? I haven't had a dual boot system for so long I don't recall the names, but you will recognise the names from your osx install.
Failing that have you checked what gparted lists.
What is /etc/fstab listing? I think the osx partitions will be listed as not auto mounting.
I did think later last night, when I said hold the alt key, I meant hold it from when the boot process starts (power button on cold start) until you get the menu of icons. This feels like forever on my 2008 macbook. I trust it is getting quicker. And you will get a menu.
