Ubuntu 14.04.01 corrupted

Question

I installed 14.04.01 on a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009. For the install I made the mac an Ubuntu only machine. I had to reinstall to try to fix an error i caused and in the process corrupted the hard drive. Now I'm unable to boot from the install disk because it can't find EFI. What can I do to fix this? If I can't boot from the DVD I can't install Ubuntu and the hard drive is trashed. Please help.

I'm a newbie.....

And I tried to select the Install option after I got the EFI error and it just hung. — Michael Win, Feb 11 '15 at 21:48

You now have only 2 options:

Restore your system back-up (you're definitely user type 4)
Order an Apple Recovery DVD

As you probably don't have #1 (or you wouldn't be asking this question) you should starting making system back-ups after you've painstakingly restored your system so this never happens again...
