Re: Mint 14 Failed Installation - Cannot boot to Windows/Lin
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.

Re: Mint 14 Failed Installation - Cannot boot to Windows/Lin
That tells me grub has not been installed.
here is a page that will tell you how to reinstall it.

This is for Ubuntu but will work for Mint also.

Re: Mint 14 Failed Installation - Cannot boot to Windows/Lin
hey ,
i had similar problem of grub today . I did as stated in the following link and my system has started working fine
"http://askubuntu.com/questions/134124/w ... e-partitio"
PS: Plz mind the "boot loader install" option ( should be "/dev/sda" and not "/dev/sda*" )
hope it helps.
