Simple partial solution:
copied Boot(folder) and bootmgr(file) from the Vista installation to the w7 installation, and then did update-grub.

Grub found both but offers them both as w7, but on...

So is there a simple workaround?

My friend's computer had (thanks to some work removing Norton and other trash) a working copy of Vista, but I thought she might have a (bit) better experience...

Reinstalling mint had no effect.
Still offered win7 or 'recovery environment' or mint.

Thanks again. I'll follow up Old Fred's suggestion.

Perhaps I could revert to old grub and simply create...

Thanks again for the 'permanent share mount' tutorial - working perfectly.

Everything else was working perfectly until yesterday afternoon when I booted up win7 to use IE to try and...

Dmizer,
Thanks for all your effort on this.

Ghaspias,
Thanks. Got it working with

For cosmetic reasons I commented out the 'tail' line in my renamed custom list...

When I try this, I get no custom entries at all on reboot, even though the echo during update-grub says it's adding them....

Doc and Chuck,

Thanks again for the helpful hints. It does seem a wee bit 'trial and error' (with the emphasis on the latter!).

For interest, the mint entry which works for me (with iso...

Thanks. Tried it and it appeared to work, but firefox couldn't connect, and typing revealed the same infinitely repeating key preoblem.

Back to the drawing board...

I get the dialog and click through it, and am then greeted with a working system, and if it's low-res, there's something wrong with my eyes.

Can't work out what's wrong, but may just adapt grub to...

The only way I can get a usable computer is to boot into recovery and opt for failsafe graphics. Then I get a perfect screen hi-res as ever, and no longer a freeze-up on first keypress.
