Remark : if you want to repair a 64bits system, you need to use Boot-Repair from a 64bits system. Same for 32bits. Example : Boot-repair can be used to reinstall [[GRUB2|GRUB]] easily. In the example below the BIOS is set to boot on first hard disk (sda), so the user chooses "Place GRUB into : sda". {{http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1306401412.png}} = See Also = * [[GRUB2]] - Ubuntu bootloader |

Introduction
|
Boot-Repair is a small graphical tool to repair frequent boot problems :
- Repair the boot when an OS does not boot any more after installing Ubuntu
Repair the boot when access to GRUB and any OS is lost (may be due to a Windows software that wrote into the MBR gap, or a OEM MBR lock),
Allow to reinstall GRUB bootloader easily
- Create a Boot-Info-Script summary in 1 click
Allow to restore the original bootsector (MBR) if it has been saved by Clean-Ubiquity
Boot-Repair is a free software, licenced under GNU-GPL.
Getting Boot-Repair
1st option : get a CD including Boot-Repair
If the system you want to repair is 32 bits, download and burn a CD of Ubuntu Secured (32bits)
If the system you want to repair is 64 bits, download and burn a CD of Ubuntu Secured 64bits
Remark : you can also install the ISO on a live-USB.
2nd option : install Boot-Repair in Ubuntu
Either add ‘ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair’ to your Software Sources via the Software Centre or, for speeds-sake, add it using a new Terminal session:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
Boot-Repair can be installed & used from any Ubuntu session (normal session, or live-CD, or live-USB).
PPA packages are available for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10.
Using Boot-Repair
Standard repair
if you use Gnome (default in Ubuntu 10.10 and previous versions): launch Boot-Repair from System->Administration->Boot-Repair menu
- if you use Unity (Ubuntu 11.04): search "boot" in the dash.
Then try "First repair. When repair is finished, reboot and check if you recovered access to your OSs. If not, run Boot-Repair again and try the "Second repair" option. If both repairs did not succeed, copy-paste the URL that appeared in order to get help on Ubuntu forums.
