update problems
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:30 am
Please excuse me if I appear thick but I'm struggling with a problem
I'm a recent convert to 64 bit mint Debian and loaded it via a down load onto my new PC it has worked well for the past month but last night I decided to update the system and loaded the new updater.
The new updater forwarded me to the new mirrors and I downloaded 1217 updated files and proceeded to install them.
After the update had finished I used the system for a further two hours browsing the web shut it down but when I started again this morning the system failed to boot .
I'm assuming that I have put the new grub in the wrong place I have run giparted via a separate CD but cannot locate the boot sector
I must add that I'm 67 years old and don't really understand complex replies but I'm always willing to learn
Can anybody help me please
