   Did the upgrade from the DVD last night, and here I am back on MD2009.   
      
   Now to fix my other problem.....thinks to self, other problem affected   
   the three installations I did after MD2009, with MD2011 being the last   
   of those three installation, so it "sort of" sounds reasonable, to me at   
   least, that its bootloader was last installed, so anything that effected   
   its bootloader would also have affected the others. Don't know why it   
   didn't affect the MD2009 bootloader, though!!
