   The leading standard

   Rescatux was the standard for grub repair in MBR and EFI systems. It has a ton of tools. Recent updates arent compatible with new machines and the system wont load anymore. If you have a GPU+CPU machine (like a AMD A6 R4) forget to use rescatux.

   However if your machine is compatible, use rescatux as it's probably the best tool for repairing boot problems, disk management and thousand of thing more.

   🏁 Competitors: Boot Repair Disk

   👍 Pros:    Lots of functionalities|Open-source|Free to use

   👎 Cons:    New versions lack compatibility with amd desktop gpu+cpu boards|Rescuapp isn't ready for installing in other distros so you could load other live distro and use it

• Need help with installing Ubuntu as a dual boot

  From what I understand, the boot EFI partition has become corrupted. In this case The easiest thing to do Is to download ventoy and install it in a flash drive Then put in this ISO, boot it and do the repair Https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ If that doesn't work then I should rebuild the efi partition and then restore the bootloader.

• I'm trying to boot boot-repair from a usb stick, and it's stuck after: [Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-premount ... done.]. (Please it's been two weeks and I'm battling my pc)

  I flashed the boot repair ISO (64 bit) onto a usb drive using Balena Etcher. It was a normal morning, around 3 am, I had just turned off my pc (Ubuntu 22.04) normally, then the next day, it gave me this error: End kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does it make any sense to keep recovery partitions after formatting?

  If you altered the MBR but haven't deleted the recovery partition, you can make it bootable again by installing GRUB and os-prober (for example with the Boot-Repair disk). Depending on the type of recovery partition, it either comes up as "Windows Recovery Environment" or just "Windows 7", so don't confuse it with a standard Windows 7 installation.

• how do I enter windows 10 when stuck in Linux grub while booting? (please read the description)

  If you have a system you can download to, you might look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/. Source: about 2 years ago

• trouble installing deepin

  I had a similar problem when I tried to install neon on a btrfs formatted drive. I'm not familiar with uefi though. You could try the boot repair disc https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ . The problem is that some packages normally get deleted after bootloader is installed, which won't happen here. You might need to remove them manually. That says my solution is not perfect and shouldn't be your first... Source: about 2 years ago
