Try to reinstall GRUB from a 'chroot' environment you get from the Trisquel Live system.

Out of curiosity, how did you install Trisquel? (e.g. did you partition it in any particular way, or just choose "install alongside another OS"?)

I also wonder, what does the entry that says "Windows XP" do? I remember that back when I used Linux Mint, whatever version of GRUB it used got the "Windows Vista" and "Windows Recovery Environment" choices backwards.

well i figured it out now
the thing is how you partitition the hddd
you need to make one logical that is ext4 journal modethat is a root
and one the sam way that is home
and a 3rd that is swap and a swap space

and then you install on the drive not on the partition

well now that it worked i am really happy
just typed this out to help iothers
