Current menu.lst reads as follows:
... including some comments to myself, in trying to translate the example file to my situation.
Mint is installed as follows:
sda9 (boot)
sda10 (root)
sda11 (swap)
sda12 (home)

Position of volumes on HDD:
hd0,0 (Win2K)
hd0,1 (Win7)
...
hd0,7 (Mint boot)
hd0,8 (Mint root)
hd0,9 (Mint swap)
hd0,10 (Mint home)
'hd0,1' has its tag set, to be the boot partition. Are the volumes correctly translated from DOS notation to Linux notation?
The GNU/Linux Mint volumes are identified as was seen by using an Ext4 file viewer from inside MS Windows.
What is happening when system boots, menu selections are made, and LinuxMint fails to load and run:
