Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 click!
Can somebody give me some advice on what to do? I had Ubuntu installed on my main drive with FDE then installed Lubuntu on a MSATA drive also with FDE. After that only Lubuntu would work, then I did a few other things and now nothing boots. I've tried boot-repair several times with no luck. I really don't want to have to start over, all of my files are still available via live usb. Please help, I'll donate a fraction of a bitcoin if you solve it.

Thanks!

I do not use nor know about encryption. But un-encrypting your partition(s) is what Boot-Repair needs to be able to repair it. It also has a link on encryption.

@YannBuntu my old data is not found in the /home folder... so what to do?
Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 click!
With encryption it is in the encrypted sub-folder and when you unencrypt it, it is in /home as if not encrypted. But on drive it only is in encrypted folder.

You show no Linux partition and show a NTFS partition without any Windows boot files. There does not seem to be any unallocated space on drive or a missing partition to try to recover.
You do show an extended partition with swap as the only other partition(s) beside the NTFS which is most of your drive.
Did you have a Linux install and delete it or do something with Windows. Windows often does not see Linux partitions so its partition tools may damage Linux partitions.

Yes, I had a Linux partition and deleted it. Now I try to install Win7, with no success. Can you help me?
Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 click!
Do you want to install Win7 or repair it? If everything is OK except a few boot files, it might be possible to repair.
What tool have you got to install Windows? An install DVD? In that case you can at least install Windows from scratch. You should be guided by the installer (step by step), at least if you are willing to wipe everything on the drive.
Last but not least, please backup all your personal files before doing anything else with the drive!
Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 click!
First of all, I already backed up my files. When I try to install Win7, I get this error message: "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVDm or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note. If the windows installation media is in the drive, you can safely remove it for this step."
I installed Ubuntu, but when I restarted the pc, I see only a cursor blinking.
I'm really desperate
