Hello im new here and id like to ask a question. I want to install a version of linux on my macbook pro early2011 so i read that i need to install the rEFInd. I alrdy have installed windows on this laptop like so: i have 2 hard drives on one i partitioned it so i have 100Gb for OSX and 100Gb for windows + 120Gb on the 2nd hard (for windows too).

Im wondering if i can delete the OSX partition and install linux over it? Will it work or do i still need to keep the OSX partition.

I tried to install the linux partition on an external harddriver but it wont see it at booting screen.

I want to keep the windows partitions as they are and im afraid not to dmg something. So how can i get the linux on this laptop without removing the windwos?

Thank you.
