Not enough info to help. Google 'bootinfoscript', go to the site, read the instructions, download and run it and post the output (a results.txt file). You need to do this from the Mint CD/flash drive as it is a bash script. That should provide more information on boot files and locations as well as other useful info.

How do I run it as a bash script and what code should I enter?
Download it, it is a tar.gz file and will probably end up in the Downloads directory. It will be a tar.gz file with the name "bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz". I just right-clicked and selected Extract here, auto-detect sub-folder. If you don't have that option, extract it. Otherwise, you can use a terminal and navigate to your Downloads directory or wherever it is and run: tar -zxvf bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz. A new directory/folder will show up. Open it and you will see a 'bootinfoscript' bash file. It should be executable but check in the file manager or terminal to verify. There is also a README file, read it. How to run and lots of other info is there.
mint@mint ~ $ sudo ~/Downloads/bootinfoscript
sudo: /home/mint/Downloads/bootinfoscript: command not found
You needed to change to the Downloads directory and then run the command: sudo ./bootinfoscript
It's the third line from the top of the bootinfoscript README file. There is a dot (.) before the file which is needed. You could also have done: sudo bash bootinfoscript. You need to be in the directory where the script actually resides. When I downloaded it and extracted it, it was in a directory named bootinfoscript-061 so I had to change to that directory to run it. I'm not using Mint so I don't know where it might have downloaded in your case. This just for someones' future use.
