So I've been trying anything and everything under the sun to fix this problem.

Have a lenovo Y570 laptop and decided to duel boot linux mint alongside windows 7.

I partitioned some space on the windows side after the install. I then rebooted and came to this grub rescue screen. I've read about all the ways to fix it and applied all of them basically burning, typing, etc every type of media including windows 7 dvd's, linux mint boots of usb and dvds. The problem is my computer BIOS menu is completely gone. Everytime i try to boot the computer to the cd drive. I hear it spin up and it still takes me to the screen of grub rescue.

I have all types of windows boot software burned to different dvds and usb sticks, but my computer will not boot to any of these whatsoever. I've spent over 5 hours searching, burning, applying all types of fixes and I still get sent to the grub rescue screen.

If there is an alternative to way to get something to boot up, please, I need advice.

Thanks in advanced.
