Secondly when I tried to follow the advice give to me by previous

Edit your GRUB options. Which options depends on whether you are using
GRUB legacy or GRUB2.
is
'permissions' a possible cause of my problem?
Conceivably.
Also looking at /mnt shows
'root' can access files only, group is root without access and others
have no access. chmod 700 /mnt says 'read only file system' ls -ld /mnt
shows
dr-x------ 1 root root 4096 2010-09-17 08:53 /mnt
You *might* want chmod 777 while troubleshooting, and then possibly
something like 755 depending on your needs later.
700 locks normal users out.
The order goes user, group, world
If root is the owner, then non-root can't read, write, or execute from
that directory. In fact, just doing an ls inside a directory requires
execute privileges on that directory.
700 for owner root is probably not what you want.
