[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1011940, member: 46727"] I thought at first that you might have corrupted your boot sector with the Ubuntu installation attempt. That happens quite frequently and when it does, it will stop OS X from being able to boot. The usual solution to that problem is boot with the SL DVD and use Disk Utility to move the partition boundary down and then back up in order to restore the boot sector. However, your problem is different. Somehow, the partition table has become corrupt and possibly the boot sector also. But if you can boot to Snow Leopard, that means the boot sector is working. A real head scratcher! ;P The only thing I can suggest at this point is backup your Snow Leopard installation with Time Machine and completely reinstall Snow Leopard. Wipe the disk and start over. Regards. [/QUOTE]
