Hi.
I have a MacBook Pro with OS/X and Win7 set up as dual boot on the machine using BootCamp and it works fine. What I'm trying to do is get a an installation of Ubuntu which is on a flash drive to boot using BCD from the Win7 boot manager. I can't do it from boot camp as the Mac will only see GPT partitions with EFI and I haven't found a way to creat one of those animals for Ubuntu. If I use either Legacy GRUB or GRUB2 as the option in the boot menu it either doesn't boot at all (legacy grub) or boots to a grub shell (GRUB2) and stops.
If I stick the flash drive into a non EFI based machine (regular laptop) and boot to USB it boots just fine.
Any ideas?
