No, it is not a homework problem.  BUT, the user should be aware of what 
happens when they install a boot loader, especially when they are installing 
more than 1 operating system.  I gave some exact points the user should think 
about to fix this problem.

I have the solution ready to post and held it back in the drafts folder 
because it took me some time to figure out what this user had actually done 
to his system.  Is it not fair that he/you think about what he has done and 
how he might remedy the problem before the solution is given?  Might we have 
some discussion about what has happened instead of "giving the solution 
away".
