[QUOTE="bennoculus, post: 1168593, member: 186476"] Hello, I believe I have everything right. I made a boot disc via Disk Utility (it installed fine on a partition on a PC of mine) and tried booting into the DVD. I got nothing. Take in mind that I [B]do have rEEfit installed[/B]. So, I thought maybe my disc drive has failed. This is a MacBook Pro. It reads most discs, including the OS DVD, but some DVDs and CDs just won't read. After that, I made an image onto a flash disc and tried booting from that. Holding down the option key gave me both the Mac OS X and Linux Penguin at the rEEfit startup menu. But, everytime I try and boot it just says "Boot Error" I've tried this with Linux Mint, Fedora, and Ubuntu. Is the Macbook Pro just doomed? Any help would be appreciated greatly! OS: Mac OS X 10.6.6 MacBook Pro Late 2009 model, Intel Core 2 Duo. [/QUOTE]
