Tri-install Win7, Mint8, and MintKDE boot errors

Post by clgy15 »

Hey everybody,
I originally had Win7 and Mint8 dual booted without a problem. Then I install MintKDE for kicks and so no when I select Mint8 main from the grup menu it goes into an infinite loop of screen on screen off and then all of the sudden I will get control over the mouse clicker but its an x and then nothing happens and I have to reboot. The other OSs work fine so does anyone have an idea what happened? Is it because MintKDE overwrote the Mint8 Grub and that messed up the boot process??
