Remove Grub Loader from Mac

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 7155 / 3 Years ago, wed, november 10, 2021, 3:28:21

I installed Ubuntu (Precise) on my Macbook Pro but now I'd like to go back to OSX but I can't boot off the OSX Snow Leopard DVD to do a reinstall. I have tried booting and holding down "c" or using "Option" and then selecting the OSX install media but after selecting the OSX media the grub menu loads and tried to boot Ubuntu instead of booting off the DVD.

I tried booting off my Ubuntu LiveUSB and removing all of the partitions using gparted but the problem still persists. Any ideas? I just want to wipe everything and go back to OSX only. When I installed Ubuntu I pretty much followed the default options.

Thanks.

Finally got it.

I was able to boot into internet recovery mode (by pressing Command-R). I deleted all the partitions and created a new one. The problem still persisted, I couldn't boot off the OSX DVD. Then I booted into internet recovery mode again, changed the partition type from MBR to GUID (I think this is what fixed my problem), and re-installed OSX from internet recovery (which took about 10 hours to download) and now everything is back to normal.

Thanks.
