Hi,

I installed refit and Ubuntu in my MAC (in this order, first rEFIt ad them Ubuntu from Live CD 7.04 amd64) and everything was great.

But then, I used gparted to shrink my linux and mac os partitions and created a new 12G FAT32 partition for windows (I know I know... games...)

Then my refit menu changed the penguin icon to a generic icon (I still have an apple icon that loads my mac os with no problem), and if I chose this icon, I got "Missing Operating System". Ok, no problem, GRUB was lost, so I booted with Ubuntu Live CD and run:

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/linux /dev/sda3

and them, I got a new icon with the beautiful penguin, and it loads my linux with no problem.

But now I'm getting this crazy bug: When I boot with the Windows XP in the DVD drive and choose the windows icon (to boot windows from CD), I get Linux!
refit loads the Linux instead of windows...

I've searched the FAQ and didn't found anything about it, so I posting this bug here.

Thanks,
