It would be better if you have the livecd or install cd, but you can also use other livecd as well e.g. knoppix. root (hdx,y) setup (hdx) x is the mbr usually points to hd0. y is the partition where your grub stage 1 is, just press the tab key to auto-complete. Let us know if it works. Cheers, Jay On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 9:56 AM, Terry Duell <tduell@iinet.net.au> wrote:

try to re-install grub onto your mbr.
boot using your distro livecd or rescue mode. some distro would require that you chroot before running grub. then run root (hdx,x) and setup (hdx).
I don't have an LMDE 64 bit livecd. If I can get a livecd, I assume it will have to have the same version of grub. My laptop announces grub version 1.99-27+deb7u1. Also, how can I check what the x in hdx should be? I only have the one distro installed, and probably used the default installation, so hd1 is probably right?
