yes, I get 'grub>' instead of the computer booting into LL or Windows. Actually, there's no option to boot into windows as that's what I messed up.
I dual booted my Windows 7 (already installed on the laptop) with LL 4 per the instructions found at

Everything seemed fine but after following the instructions regarding setting up Easy BCD, LL would only boot to the grub> prompt. I went back to check on the Easy BCD settings to see if I'd done something wrong. I got into a hurry and actually set my windows as linux as well as the actual linux file! Stupid, I know.
Now I have two Linux Lite options for booting but both will just boot to the grub prompt.
I'm in the process of downloading LL again so I can put it on a usb drive. I'm sure I can boot to live LL and extract the cd (Windows install disk but it won't work because not enough space on hd for another installation since I formatted a partition for LL) I didn't want to wipe my HD if I can find anything else that will work.
I have yet to check your link too - I appreciate you taking the time to find it for me. Will let you know if it helps.
MY download is nearly finished and when I have it on usb, what do I do to fix things once I'm into live LL?
PS - cd/dvd drive is not broken - it's just that you evidently have to have some sort of os loaded to eject the cd. The windows cd that I have in there doesn't do anything but reinstall the os or, at least nothing I could find to do anything else. I also have a repair disk but can't use it with the other disk stuck in the drive.
