rEFIt has redundant entry

[usuario]

Hi everyone,

I'm using the rEFIT boot selector (it's either version 0.12 or 0.13) and I have a "Legacy OS" option that shouldn't be there.

I think rEFIt thinks I have an extra operating system because there is a tiny gap between my Mac and Windows partition that I don't know how to get rid of.

Is there any way to stop rEFIt from displaying this OS that doesn't exist?

What's using bootcamp got to do with the OP's rEFIt problem....how do you know he didn't use it?

I don't know for sure but my understanding is that either:

That partition exists on all GPT-formatted volumes but is just hidden.
Using Boot Camp creates that partition.

In either case, I don't know of a way to get rid of it... mostly because I cannot even get rEFIt to work properly. No matter what I try it will not display its boot selector menu, on ANY reboot, no matter what keys I press or don't press.

I think you can edit a configuration file.

You can use rEFit in conjunction with Bootcamp. People use rEFIt because they want a 3rd OS on their hard drive. Triple boot between OS X, Windows, and *BSD for example. Or maybe they want more than three. rEFIt does this.
