- This would change the bootloader back to GRUB. Now, reboot your system and most probably, you will get the violet GRUB menu. But, in case you get a “System Bootloader not found” error message, we would need to disable secure boot through the UEFI firmware. To get to the firmware settings, press F2 or F10 on the boot splash screen.
- The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot'. Parrot Security is often best installed in a dual-boot system. This allows you to run Linux on your actual hardware, but you can always reboot into Windows if you need to run Windows software or play PC games.
- Converter 4.3 does not support Ubuntu 10.04 because Ubuntu have switched to GRUB2 boot loader, but Converter 4.3 supports only GRUB1. You can try the new Converter 5.0 - this issue should be fixed there.

If you no longer have a Recovery HD you can boot from, then you might try Recovery Partition Creator 3.7 – Updated for Mavericks | Musings to create a new one to use. Or if your Mini can use Internet Recovery - Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - then you can do this:
GRUB is the default bootloader for Linux kernel-based operating systems. In some cases, you have to run both Linux and Windows on the same machine (Laptop or PC), you may encounter some issues with GRUB. For example, if you install Windows after Linux installation, the Windows initiate its own bootloader on the MBR (Master Boot Record).
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Grub Bootloader Failed To Install
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
- Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
- After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
- Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
