Grub broke Windows bootloader?

(1/4) > >>

N4RPS:
Hello!

I haven't had any luck with the 'boot repair' CDs. I usually just use an LL LiveCD, add the boot-repair PPA, install boot-repair, and run it from the Linux Live CD:


--- Code: ---sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
--- End code ---

The down side is that you lose the changes, since you can't write them back to the CD. Next time I need it, I think I'll install LL onto a big enough storage card, so that the changes stay there.

Since we're over 700MB now, perhaps boot-repair can be added to a future LiveCD release...

I don't know if it will be good for the link I gave you till my download finishes in 30 minutes.
Don't procrastinate. It is just a wrench for a Linux tool box.
My md5sum is for the 64bit iso. Not the 32 bit one. I do not know the number for the 32bit one.
In case someone else wishes to post it.

Modify: Found it.

That would be what I would pick.

 If me. I would peruse the options presented and post back a screenshot when you get that far.
There should be some options you are not aware of yet because you have yet to boot the cd.

If I am not available. Maybe some other member can kick in here. I run my own shop so I am in and out
on forums from time to time. I try and be present but real world stuff keeps me busy also.
