OK now I 'dd' cloned my LL3.8 system from SDHC to a new partition on the HDD to give dual boot with win**ws, (which I have to retain for my wife). Although I could see LL folders and files on the 2nd partition, no way could I choose to boot LL3.8
After lots of googling I found 'Boot-Repair' and installed it to a SD card, booted from it and allowed it to have its own way! Eventually it reported its findings which looked ok. Rebooting from the HDD then gave me a grub menu and I was able to boot to either system (win or LL3.8).
So the moral of the tale is that maybe your Tutorial could have a reference to 'Boot-Repair' for 'dders' who are confronted with a no-boot situation.
Thanks Mike for your assistance.
