Perhaps your try root=/dev/hda7 instead of /dev/sda7 on the Mint part,

joesavana,

Try chainloading Mint. Use the below boot stanza for Mint 7 in your menu.lst file.

title Mint 7 Gloria
root (hd0,6)
chainloader +1

Then in Puppy open a terminal and type:

grub

root (hd0,6)

setup (hd0,6)

quit

Close the terminal and reboot. See if that doesn't give you access to Mint.

joesavana,

Look at the the posts beginning with the one below. There is probably more there than you really wanted to know but it will give you a better understanding of grub and the way it works.
