[Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in one click

[arclance]

Hello , and welcome among us

Please use this software in a 64bits session.

If you don't have any Ubuntu 64bits CD, you can download Ubuntu Secured 64bits here. It contains Boot-Repair out-of-the-box.
(see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for more information)

I take this to mean Boot Repair is a 64 bit only program.
I tried the Ubuntu 64 bit CD before it would not run on my system.

If Boot Repair only works in a 64 bit environment why do your instructions in the first post say to use the 32 bit Ubuntu Secured disk to repair a 32 bit install?

Get a CD including Boot-Repair:
- If the system you want to repair is 32 bits, get Ubuntu Secured (32bits)
- If the system you want to repair is 64 bits, get Ubuntu Secured 64bits

If Boot Repair only works in a 64 bit environment why is it included in the 32 bit Ubuntu Secured disk?
Why do you offer a 32 bit package of Boot Repair if it only works in a 64 bit environment?

I was able to repair my boot loader from the terminal using the Ubuntu 32 bit live disk following the instructions on the purge and reinstall method found here.

Hello,
happy you found a solution
To answer your questions, Boot-Repair is not 64bits-only. It can be used both in 32bits and 64bits session, but when run from a 32bits session it cannot repair the GRUB of a 64bits Linux (that's a limitation of the chroot system).
Generally people who use only 64bits systems/CD, or 32bits systems&CD so there is no problem.
But thanks to your feedback, I improved Boot-Repair so that the BootInfo Summary now can be created in all situations. Thanks

Just wanted to show my complete appreciation for this little graphical tool. It will save me many hours of time, and it will also let people with very little knowledge of Linux do everything themselves.

Thank you YannBuntu

Just for my information, please can you send me (yannubuntu ATT gmail DOTT com) screenshots of how you "enable" your partition ?



First it should be translated in main languages. Could you help with tagalog please? (online or via a po file that you send me by email )


@all: of course anyone can help by translating !

Bro, I just read your message. What I mean by "enable" is format & mount a free space at Windows 7 Disk Manager. My dual boot was working well beforehand while I have a non-partitioned free space on my HD. I opened Windows Disk Manager and I formatted/mounted the free space. After reboot, the GRUB won't show up.

Sure I can do that, I have both boot and non-boot GPT disks.
Just explain how you want me to do it.
