I'm a newbie to Mint after being a Ubuntu user for long. I had Windows 7 on my laptop. I installed Mint on a new partition that previously had ubuntu. After installation, I dont see the grub menu. It goes straight to Mint. Here is the output of fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors

Partition table entries are not in disk order
What tweaks should I do to get the grub screen back giving options for the OS? Here is the relevant portion of /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
export linux_gfx_mode
if [ "$linux_gfx_mode" != "text" ]; then load_video; fi
