I started a dual-boot install at the end of the day, and now I'm in trouble and too tired to think right. After a basic default install,it only boots to mint now. No dual boot. I'm going to sleep now, but any pointers you can offer will give me a jump on my day tomorrow. Thanks.

EFI? Boot into the boot menu (f12) and pick the windows option. If it boots you're good, if it doesn't boot then whoopsie.

In mint open the partition management tool (forget the name) and see if windows partition is still there, or if it's one big ass Mint partition.
