Re: Grub error 22

I think your /boot/grub/menu.1st may be mis-configured
--I would check that first
I don't know what GAG does to grub which I think is likely being used by GAG to boot the Linux bootloader for Mint
Grub errors
http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html
Check your system and partitions
--a guide to explain an install and Grub multiboot install.. (Ubuntu)

GAG, as a boot manager is also manipulating partitions to hide/unhide them, so exactly what it does to grub, I don't know for sure
The usual way to start a second bootloader, is to use the boot menu and within its menu structure (contents) to use, which transfers the first bootloader or boot manger's control to the second partition and allowx (grub)its menus to work
for example grub (mint_-->chainloader +1 Windows OS
chainloader +1
..other OS data to boot
boot
--or in GRUB itself, you just change the boot order
--to set Mint or Windows as the default (selection 0) menu selection, the top item in the grub menu list on the screen at boot..

As you can see my /boot/grub/menu.1st boots my windows XP
