Please, do not post in bold letters. This is consiered unpolite and as shouting. next time take notice of how to write and post.

As for your problem, there's another topic with the same problem: http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=126083

Can you post the content of your boot.ini file here?
