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? Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
