You can manage bootflags with Ubuntu`s manager aswell the easy way if you mean partition`s boot flags.
If you mean bootloader`s boot flags - yepp, it`s when you type -f.
And, HFS+ is Apple`s Hierarchical File System used for OSX.
"I don't know where the kext files are" - what kexts files are you looking for ?

Thank you for the suggestion! Im defiantly going to try linux next considering its closer to OSX than windows is ( Unix kernal  ) hopefully my hardrive is reconised after installing linux on it.
Thank you for the information on HFS+ as well.
The kext that I was talking about was my chipset kext. I have herd that the chipset kext may be whats messing up my attempt to delete my SATA.
@demigod, I'll definitely check out that thread to see if anything will help. Thank you.
Thanks to everyone for all the great support!
