Grub boot Vista gone after update


I've been dual booting mint19/Vista for some time. But after recent mint update, when I boot I am only seeing mint options. I had the boot order changed, to Linux HD, wimdows HD then periphials. I tried changing back to see if windows would start, nothing. Then I tried removing Linux HD. Then I get a error message. Also while in Linux I can no longer see or mount windows HD. Now I spend 97% of my time on mint and do not want to use windows repair disk, then I would lose mint. I can post the grub output data if anyone can help me edit it and get back Vista for my son's game. Any help appreciated

Hi lego126, and welcome to LQ.

You could try booting from a live media of BootRepairDisk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/) and see if that resolves the issue for you.

I'll give it a shot. I think I've already got a copy.
