Seems like Super Grub2 Disk and Rescatux are the more recent versions - however Super Grub Disk using GRUB1 works fine for most purposes. The main reason for GRUB2 is to support GPT partitioned disks (more than 2TB typically) and LVM.

Have you double-checked that sda3 is the right partition, not swap or something else? Silly question I know... You should be able to use the Win2000 boot loader, I have done this in the past. Mint 11 certainly gives the option of installing grub to the root partition (/dev/sdaX) not the MBR, and mos...

Yes, I know it's a big jump and I'm sure some things won't work at all and will need reconfiguring from scratch.

Linux always used to be really stable, and Mint seems to keep this while adding many user-friendly features, and all with APT repositories. I've been using Unix for a really long t...

First time on the Mint forums... I've been using Linux for many years, most recently Ubuntu - I'm migrating my main Linux desktop and another desktop PC to Mint because it seems more stable than Ubuntu and lets me avoid the whole Unity / GNOME 3 mess (and should have a saner approach to GNOME 3 with...
