A couple of options but depends on the version of Grub. Grub and Grub2 are different in how you edit/config OSes and I'm not the guy to talk to on Grub2 (working on that). Grub has a config file to tweak where you may be able to fix the problem. Another way would be to reinstall Mint and the bootloader and let it detect Vista (again). Another avenue could be to create a live boot disk for Grub and reinstall it.<BR>
<BR>
But I'm a rather new convert from M$ so there are plenty of more people here who can get far more detailed than I.<BR>

<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT COLOR="#993300">I made a mistake and trying to fix it:</FONT></FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT COLOR="#993300">1. I have a Gateway laptop with two partitions: Vista, Mint 7. That was pretty much the entire disk) The default boot (via grub) was Vista.</FONT></FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT COLOR="#993300">2. I tried to install Mac OSX on it. The installer didn't suggest any partition or manual partition. So I entered Disk Utilities and...deleted the Mint partition. The installer still didn't suggest any action/option with regard to partition. It just sat there with a blank partition box.</FONT></FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT COLOR="#993300">3. I thought that maybe it didn't really delete the partition. Tried to boot with no CD. Sure enough, grub error. Computer wouldn't boot from hard drive.</FONT></FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT COLOR="#993300">4. I booted Mint Live CD. It was true, the previous Mint partition was still there. Got rid of it in hope the OSX installer would see free disk space. It didn't.</FONT></FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT COLOR="#993300">OK, screw OSX for the moment. How do I tell the computer to boot Vista again?</FONT></FONT><BR>
