The short question: If I tick "Skip this bootloader" will the system then take me to my Linux grub bootloader? Or will it do the same thing as removing all the OSs from the bootloader (IE make it impossible to boot)? Currently, trying to boot Linux fails because it cannot find the config file.
The long story: I had an OEM Win7 installation and added Linux Mint 14 in a new partition. BCD wouldn't find my Linux (on the same drive). So I set it to "Skip this Bootloader". It then skipped the bootloader and went to the Linux bootloader. All was fine. But then Windows started giving me a BSOD (ntoskrnl.exe corrupted) and I tried removing all of the OS's so it would go straight to the Linux bootloader. (okay, I'm stupid, the program warned me). I learned my lesson the hard way and had to reinstall. But I cannot get to Linux from BSD now. What will happen if I click "Skip this bootloader"? Will I ever be able to get back to windows if the Linux bootloader is also not working. I think it's time to buy your bootloader tool.
I've tried using all of the grub options. I see that there are ways to set up the NeoGrub that might help, but I'm afraid to screw that up to.
