I am now working thru on how I can recover but I suspect that the only way for me at the moment is re-install 13.1 from scratch. is this an EFI boot? if yes look at the bios And if that doesn't help:
Boot into rescue system, mount 13.1 and chroot into it. Reinstall bootlader. Having never used this 'chroot' I will probably have to spend some time experimenting on how to use it, but I will certainly try it before re-installing 13.1 (if need be) :-) . Basically:
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt ### where /dev/sdXY is your /-dev for ### the "to be repaired" system, use ### lsssci/fdisk -l etc. to find the dev # mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev # mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc # mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys # cd /mnt # chroot /mnt [.. do stuff in the chroot like grub-install etc. ..] [in chroot]# exit [back in rescue] # umount /mnt/proc /mnt/sys /mnt/dev ### could be you have to split ### that up # sync; sync; ### just to be safe # umount /mnt
And you should be done.

To you David and others, sorry if I haven't responded to your suggestions but will as soon as I am able. I haven't yet tried the suggestions given. The recovery of oS on the laptop has taken second priority for the moment because my wife wants a new kitchen so we have been 'frolicking' around with consultants, kitchen companies, appliance stores...... At day's end the laptop is the last thing I want to tackle :-) . BC -- A civilisation is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.
