Hello I am hoping to get some help with a problem I have been having installing ubuntu on my Macbook Pro I am pretty new to all this and I am getting pretty frustrated trying to figure this out. I was able to make the CD boot it with the help of rEFit install ubuntu 13.10 and then restart my computer after installation. I then went into the rEFit partition inspector tool to verify my partitions and I came up with the error message "GPT partition of type "unknown" found, will not touch this disk." I have tried various things like gdisk and gptsync and had a hard time figuring out both and still no solution.
this is what i am looking at and not sure how to proceed.
