Grub editor needed

Not been able to boot does not mean loss of data. Your data is still there, reachable with a live cd/dvd or bootable usb. Not booting means that there is something wrong in the boot procedure preventing the operating system to boot properly.

I never claimed that was the case. It takes a bit of knowledge to be able to do this. And not all users may be able to do so. Your trying to enlighten the wrong person here. Keep in mind the target user base for LL. And stop filling things in with your personal views. "I can do this, thus everyone else can" is elitism crap that does not belong here.
