OK, I tried to install Linux Mint 12 Lisa 64 bit. At first all appeared to be going well, then at the end I got a message that the grub boot loader couldn't be installed to the directed path. So, I started over and re-directed the boot loader to a new destination. Got the same message. Then I went back to try to figure out what happened, tried the installation again and now, every time I try the installation I get a message that the installer has crashed and, of course, the installation failed.
I don't know what the installer accomplished or didn't accomplish, but it has turned my desktop PC into a very expensive paper weight. I can't access either of my two Windows drives (XP and 7 Pro). The only thing I can access is the Linux Mint Live program, with the disk in the Optical drive. While I would very much like to get Linux Mint installed, my primary concern at this point is getting my Windows OS's back up and running. Any Ideas?

Re: Installer crashing.
Use the restore tool from the Win7 Setup disk or install Ubuntu which will also reinstall GRUB and gives you access to your windows partitions again
