I boot at Windows and "enabled" or use my last partition of hard disk to save some of my data.

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

Why not include this Boot-Repair utility by default in the future Ubuntu releases?

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 !

I take it that Boot-Repair doesn't work with legacy GRUB? I need to install Windows 7, but I have been updating Ubuntu on this drive since Jaunty and still have legacy GRUB.

Hi martini1179,
Boot-Repair should work also with GRUB Legacy.
Remark : the "purge" option uninstalls GRUB (grub grub-pc and grub-common) packages, and reinstalls grub-pc.

THANK YOU!!!

This was even easier than it looked like it was going to be!

Thanks for the tool; it works great! One bit of feedback: the forum post contains instructions for installing boot-repair from the terminal, but the wiki page does not. It would be helpful to add that information to the wiki page. Thanks!

[YannBuntu]

Thanks for your comments ! I am happy Boot-Repair helps people

@Manbeardo : installation instructions are in the wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

Boot-repair rocks. I installed 11.04 and it installed its grub over the 10.10 grub I was using. I wanted 10.10 to be in control. Boot-repair fixed this in a jiffy. It should be in the repos.

Cheers YannBuntu, great stuff.

Thanks. You are right. I created an inclusion request.

@all: if you like Boot-Repair, you can vote on Launchpad to ask its inclusion in Ubuntu's repositories : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...b2/+bug/806291
So that it will be much easier to install it..

I have left a comment there and will be burning a CD version of Boot-repair today to keep in my digital tool-kit. Thanks again.
