[Linux Mint] No Grub bootloader. Help!

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I installed Mint 13 Cinnamon today. I already have Windows XP installed. Now the problem is that the grub bootloader does not appear. Instead when I start the PC I see "Frequency out of range - 90 K / 59 HZ" on the monitor and after a while Mint loads. I posted this problem on the Mint forums too but no solution yet. Since Mint is basically Ubuntu and Ubuntu has a very vibrant and cooperative community I am posting my problem here in the hope that some one would help me. So kindly help me.:) (Hardware)

Hello,

I installed openSUSE 11.3 on a computer with Mint. openSUSE opens but there's not Mint on Grub.

I'm kind of confused with Grub.

As the title says, i've installed mint to give it a try; unfortunately now my computer is booting from the mint partition.

How can i change it back so i get the Ubuntu bootloader back?

Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks!

I posted this on the linux mint boards aswell but there seems to be more users here for a faster awnser.

Good day,

So yesterday I got my new Samsung NP530U3C-A01SE laptop. I installed linux mint on it instantly via usb on the SSD hybrid part. Now I want to install windows on the non hybrid part.

I was running two separate partitions of Linux (Ubuntu and Linux Mint) and Windows XP when I deleted my Ubuntu partition through Easus partition manager on XP due to simple stupidity. This erased my Grub bootloader, but I managed to install Grub Legacy from my Linux Mint Live CD.

First I've installed Windows 7 and then Linux Mint on another hard-drive. So when I started the PC I saw the Grub-Menu with the possibilities to start Mint or Win7.

Then I wanted to install Ubuntu too. So I installed Ubuntu on the same hard-drive as Windows. And here is the problem:

The Grub-Menu was the same. I could choose between Windows and Mint.

Dua boot Fedora 16 and Mint 12 51 weeks 14 hours ago

Hi,

I want to dual boot Fedora 16 32 bit and Mint 12 32 bit. I have created 3 primary partitions, one for swap, one for Fedora 16 and one for Mint 12. I installed Fedora to sda1 and its Grub to the MBR. Then I installed Mint to sda3 and its Grub to sda3. Now when the pc boots, it does not show Mint on the boot menu and it only shows Fedora, why so? I think Mint 12 also uses Grub2, right?
