Macbook won't recognize my partitions

I tried to install F13 on my mid-2007 macbook, but it wouldn't recognize my partitions. I currently have it set up to dual-boot fedora and os x. Does anyone know what i can do??

Thanks in advance--

What exactly do you mean by F13 not recognizing your partition? If F13 can't recognize your Mac partition then the only reason I can think of is that F13 can't recognize your Mac's file system. For example I'm running F11 and Win XP dual boot and Windows doesn't recognize my F11 partition because the file system is ext3, which windows does not support.

It may be unrelated but when was installing Fedora 13 on my laptop last night, it showed every partition as 0MB and I couldn't shrink or do anything. Turns out that I already had 4 partitions and Fedora couldn't create another one.

For some reason HPs come with 4 partitions. (2 for recovery) I don't know if there's another way around it but I ended up deleting HP's recovery partitions.
