I have a win 7 dual boot 32 bit and 64bit system. Some time ago I added Linux mint 16 to that same ssd hard drive. The grub boot loader worked fine as it was supposed to. I can boot to Linux or scroll down to load the windows boot loader to choose which win OS to boot.
Lately I added Linux mint 17 to a second hard drive and can't get that added to the grub. My first attempt over wrote the windows loader but I had both Linux distorts in the boot loader. I got the windows boot loader fixed and manually reinstalled the grub and pointed it to the older Mint 16 install and that got me back to my original system. At this point, I still have the Mint 17 install intact on the second hard drive but any attempt to add that to the grub installer manually deletes the windows loader and the scenario I described above repeats. I obviously am missing something here. Any help? Reading some posts Linux "boot repair" is mentioned. Would that help? Haven't tried that.
Thanks
