GRUB repair or BOOT repair

5:05 AM Unknown 0 Comments Category : ,

Boot-Repair is a simple tool to repair frequent boot issues you may encounter in Ubuntu like when you can't boot Ubuntu after installing Windows or another Linux distribution, or when you can't boot Windows after installing Ubuntu, or when GRUB is not displayed anymore, some upgrade breaks GRUB, etc.
Boot-Repair lets you fix these issues with a simple click, which (generally reinstalls GRUB and) restores access to the operating systems you had installed before the issue. 
Boot-Repair also has advanced options to backup table partitions, backup bootsectors, create a Boot-Info (to get help by email or forum), or change the default repair parameters: configure GRUB, add kernel options (acpi=off ...), purge GRUB, change the default OS, restore a Windows-compatible MBR, repair a broken filesystem, specify the disk where GRUB should be installed, etc.
Boot-Repair is a free software, licensed under GNU-GPL. Boot-Repair should be soon included in Ubuntu official repositories, until then use it at your own risks.

BOOT REPAIR
       Installing boot repair


        -First , open ubuntu. You have 2 ways for doing this
                             1. Get a Ubuntu live-cd or a live-usb    
                             2. Get a boot recovery disk (We will post on how to make a live-usb and a boot  
                                   recovery disc )
        -connect to the internet

        -open terminal, and then type
               sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

-Press enter  

-Then type
 sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
 
-Press enter


Now that the boot repair is installed, we can now run the boot repair

Using Boot-Repair

  • launch Boot-Repair from either :
    • the Dash (the Ubuntu logo at the top-left of the screen)
    • or System->Administration->Boot-Repair menu (Ubuntu 10.04 only)
    • or by typing 'boot-repair' in a terminal
  • Then click the "Recommended repair" button. When repair is finished, note the URL (paste.ubuntu.com/XXXXX) that appeared on a paper, then reboot and check if you recovered access to your OSs. 
  • If the repair did not succeed, indicate the URL to people who help you by email or forum.
