All my home PCs (I have three) are dual boot with WIN7/Linux Mint on them. I like the Mint Distro, especially with KDE (which is closest to the WIN7 GUI). Anyway I had version 14 still installed and I decided to update Mint to 17.1, but it's been a real mess on both RecRoom and Studio PCs. The RecRoom PC had graphics issues, and the Studio install froze and all I get on boot was ''Grub Rescue'' (which sounds like something done by a naturalist, but is really a multi boot menu system and standing for ''GRand Unified Bootloader'').

Anyway I found this utility which can be burnt to a CD or USB and booted to. It brings up a special Linux desktop with utilities to fix things. And it did the trick very quickly, finding my Mint and Windows installs and restoring the menu. Just as well, since the graphic novel  is on the Studio PC. It's backed up, but not recently. Something I might do real soon.
