    Hello, I installed Mint(today) but I started to have Grub error 2 errors, IDK why. So, I installed GAG, now I can boot into XP but not Mint(both are configured in GAG). Any help?

    Check Ubuntu Forums? Got it solved yet? I can't help, I correct everything with my Vista retail disk and LiveCD....I've got GAG, but never used it.

    Get a live cd and do a grub-install /dev/sda
