And, according to Wikipedia, "However, with the release of Boot Camp 5.0 for OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8.3, only 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 are officially supported. Users have also installed Linux using the utility, although Apple has not listed support for Linux operating systems."
So if you wreck your stuff with a Mac on a non-Mac OS and you're not using Windows 7 or Windows 8, you're screwed, Apple won't help you at all.
