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

Did you use Boot-Repair from live installer or download its CD or flash drive version to reinstall grub2. Or you can just reinstall grub2 to your MBR. With two drives I like to have different boot loaders in each drive. And with a 1TB hard drive I might install the next version of Ubuntu to test or just another install to run tests with.

Other ways to reinstall grub2 to MBR, but Boot-Repair is easier for most.

I was working from a liveCD. I used the gui boot-repair, which never worked. I also used all the different terminal commands I could find for reinstalling Grub2, fixing Grub/MBR, etc. One of them gave a command to check where /boot was during a manual mount of the /dev, /proc, & /sys.... while doing this, it becae apparent there was no /boot.

We reinstalled Ubuntu 13.04 to SDA5 as /root, with /boot device listed as SDA. Directed /var, swap, /home, & /tmp to their respective partitions on the HDD, rebooted and recv'd a Grub2 boot menu. Can't figure out what happened, though I believe we directed /boot into sda1 on the first go round, which would explain why I also had to repair mbr for windows.

Sometimes a reinstall is the quickest way to fix issues as with Ubuntu you can do a full install very quickly. With BIOS you always want to install the grub2 boot loader to the MBR of a drive rarely to a partition (already have to have another grub2) and never to a NTFS partition's partition boot sector as Windows has its boot code in that boot sector. A /boot is a folder in your Linux install or partition as just about every part of Linux can be in a separate partition. Usually with destop installs you do not need a partition for /boot but there are a few excetions.

But if you have a new UEFI system, then you install the grub2 boot loader to the efi partition, but only if in UEFI mode when installing or repairing. You can boot UEFI systems in BIOS/CSM/Legacy mode and then it is just like BIOS and needs boot loader in MBR.

Hi,

I have installed Ubuntu 13.04, 64-bit, along side pre-installed Windows 8. However, when I restart my laptop, I am not getting the dual boot option, but my laptop boots to Windows 8, directly.

Earlier, I had installed Ubuntu 13.04, 64-bit, but it gave problems and so I "un-installed" Ubuntu and reinstalled the same. My suspicion is that my uninstallation of Ubuntu was not clean and might be creating this problem.

After using Ubuntu LiveDVD, and "Trying Ubuntu without installing", I did a boot repair and I got the following URL : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5932820/. The contents of this page is :

You had link to your pastebin list. But if posting long output, please use code tags to make it easier to read and preserve formatting. You can add code tags automatically from advanced editing menu.

Have you gone into UEFI/BIOS. It should now show ubuntu as an UEFI boot choice. You may have to change that to be the default.

Did you test to see if your system boots only Windows or will it boot Ubuntu. Boot-Repair has already made some of the the changes where it renames boot files to have the Windows boot file name (only bkpbootx64.efi). If you can boot ubuntu entry then the full rename is not required. UEFI should let many systems boot not just Windows efi boot file.

Your system shows from UEFI parameters export several boot orders. I do not know which is current default or if just last boot as history. First number is line number in BootInfo report and lines in-between are the labels of each number. You should see each of those labels/entries in your UEFI menu.

853 BootOrder: 0002,2002,3001,3002,2001,2003

868 BootOrder: 2002,3001,3002,2001,2003

879 BootOrder: 0002,2002,3001,3002,2001,2003

Boot-Repair - Updated Jan 1, 2013 to not rename first time, but rename if first time Windows does not boot. Post 706 and 711
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...769482&page=71
Boot-Repair copied /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (in case the BIOS is hard-coded to boot into /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi or secure boot signed GRUB file shimx64.efi.
Renamed files:
/EFI/Boot/bkpbootx64.efi
/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bkpbootmgfw.efi

To undo & to rename files to their original names, you just need to tick the "Restore EFI backups" option of Boot-Repair.

HP seems to put many efi files into the normal efi boot partition. Boot-Repair finds all those files and adds boot entries. You may want to backup, remove or clean up the entries you do not need or rarely need. Info in link in my signature on cleaning up UEFI menu and grub menu.

@Fred and helpers:
- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2163792&page=2 is an example of case where B-R has detected that the installed Ubuntu is not UEFI-compatible. In this particular case, we can see in line 485 of the BootInfo ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5895066 ) that the installed Ubuntu is 32bit. If you see a similar case, ask the user to install a 64bit Ubuntu instead

- I have updated Boot-Repair so that by default it will put grub/shim in EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi only. The EFI/Microsoft/.. files renaming is not by default any more, but available as a "Rename Windows EFI files" option in the Advanced Options. Please warn me in the future if you see cases where enabling this option is necessary.

**oldfred** · July 31st, 2013

@Yann,
Thanks for the info. I was about to suggest not always renaming. Not sure how many UEFI only boot Windows boot efi file as there were many complaints in the beginning. And have had one or two users where we had to reinstall the Windows efi file (not quite sure why now?).

**psfal** · August 1st, 2013

This finds sda1 and sda7 (Ubuntu installations), but doesn't find sda6 (Fedora installation). Is there a fix for this issue?

**YannBuntu** · August 1st, 2013

@Fred: probably some buggy firmwares are blocked to boot on /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi , and others are blocked on a /EFI/Microsoft/...efi file. The first type is not a problem and B-R will workaround it by default, the second is (it's not 'clean' to rename some 3rd party files, even though the initial fault comes from the firmware). From now we will know how many are 2nd type.

**oldfred** · August 1st, 2013

@psfal
Fedora normally installs in LVM, and your standard desktop install may not have the lvm2 driver. And to get os-prober to see the Fedora LVM install you need to mount it first.

sudo apt-get install lvm2
#mount Fedora partition
sudo update-grub
