Um, hello.
I just reformatted my computer. When I try to access Windows Vista from Grub, it says error: no such device: 306efe7d6efe3b64. Press any key to continue.
I tried to update to Mint 10 (I have Mint 8 right now,) but the live CD wouldn't load, I was brought straight to the Grub menu.
Any solutions? :T_T:
Thanks.

I don't have a linux system to mess around with atm, but it seems like your GRUB config file has been screwed up. "306efe7d6efe3b64" doesn't sound like a valid device to me. :P There's no need to upgrade Mint, simply edit the grub.conf file and fix the entry that initiates your Vista boot. It should be something like [code]title windows
chainloader(hd0,0)+1[/code]
(change hd0,0 to whatever it is on your system)
