Hi donoskaro and welcome to Mint,
Go to this page and download and run boot-repair it should restore your grub boot loader.
Good luck

hi again sorry for the delay,
your log file shows that you two windows boot files one on sda1 and one on sda2 Grub won't like that but still should work.
I believe the problem may be that you Mint install is on sdb1 and as such grub is not finding it.
here's what to try
put the livedvd in when it boots up go to a terminal and type the following
when that is finished type this command
when that is finished
reboot
see if it works.

PS: Plz mind the "boot loader install" option ( should be "/dev/sda" and not "/dev/sda*" )
hope it helps.
