I tried to dual boot Win7 and Mint13 and ran into a problem.
One note – I tried to install XFCE MINT13 and I stopped it before it had completed. The status of the install was nonexistent and I didn’t know it hadn’t completed. I then used EasyBCD to update the Win MBR and added a Mint boot option using EasyBCD. I received this error instead of booting into Mint:
“Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
File:\NST\AutoNeoGrub.mbr
The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.”
To repeat - that error occurred when I tried to boot Mint, not Windows.
I then went to EasyBCD, deleted the Linux Mint line and uninstalled EasyBCD. I then went back and re-installed gnome Mint13 (I wanted this version more). I then installed EasyBCD and followed the instructions again.
I ended up with the same error when I tried to load Mint13.
Also, I can boot into Windows just fine. It is only Mint that is giving me problems.
The basic dual boot tutorial that I followed is here:

TIA…
