Hi,
Yesterday I installed Mint 13, Xubuntu 12.04 and Netrunner 12.12 (I think) and everything was fine with each OS.
But 2 hours ago I installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on drive C (don;'t worry, I formatted the drive as NTFS from within Linux beforehand, using gparted) and now, after finishing installing the mobo, video, sound, etc drivers and restarting the machine Linux doesn't show up anymore as an option at boot start. The PC logs onto Windows automatically
Please help! I don't know how to fix the bootloader and I don't feel like wasting 4-5 more hours re-installing each version of Linux all over again and customizing everything.
[SOLVED] Boot options don't show up anymore

Re: Boot options don't show up anymore
Hello, monere.
Boot-Repair should help you solve the problem.
You might also consult this Howto article: RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows.
Do not be afraid, because both links point to Ubuntu pages. Ubuntu and Mint are pretty close relatives. So what works for Ubuntu is not totally unlikely to work for Mint as well.
Good luck,
Karl

Re: [SOLVED] Boot options don't show up anymore
Edited the post as solved cause problem is solved indeed.
There are some entries in the boot menu that I have no idea where they came from or why, but I can live with this as long as everything else works as before the issue
Cheers!
