problems with booting from image

[soidemersol]

Hello,

I wanted to boot a linux instalation ISO on my mac from an external HD, so I had to point it as source so that the computer would recognize it as a bootable disk. I made it through terminal, not disk utility, following the steps from a tutorial (sorry, it has been months already, don't know where it is).

The problem is: it now only recognizes the linux image, and the rest of the partitions are gone. I've used several programs and none of them recognizes other partitions other than the linux image.

(the disk clicked in blue is the one)

Any suggestions to turn it back to normal?

Thanks

Have you rebooted with the option key.

You know that other OS may try and "Fix" drives they find with "Bad" file systems and thus kill the other file systems.
