Hello Lacinda,

Did you create a partition for OS X before installing linux? It sounds as if you did not - or if you did, you may have chosen the wrong partition type. Unfortunately, I don't know of any partitioning tools in linux that will allow you to create this partition now, so unless someone else can help, you may need to start from scratch and partition properly before reinstalling linux and then installing OS X.

Good luck!
-Bob
