For GPT disks use gdisk. I would run "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" to make sure that you are pulling in all of the relevant updates. I would also make sure that you have enough disk space. If mint created a /boot partition, it can get filled up with old kernels. You may need to run "sudo apt-get autoremove" to clean these up. It is also worth running "sudo update-grub" to make sure that your system is still bootable.
