boot-repair-disk

Since I have discovered boot-repair-disk more than 20 years ago (yes twenty) it never failed me. It is a real godsend for people like me who can not resist experiencing any new path at one's risks. Thank you so much for this almost miraculous tool.

I have a Ubuntu server and edit the grub and it would not boot then so put this on a USB stick with "Raspberry Pi imager". On a Windows tablet. It worked but I guess it thought it was a desktop. Because on the screen I can't log in it has a purple rectangle about the size of the tablet with just a blinking cursor in the top left comer that I can't type anything. It just flashes. But it got it to boot and I can ssh and http and other things over Ethernet to it again. All so don't see any text of it booting up just bank until the purple rectangle comes up. Thank you. -Raymond Day

Perfect

I have used this several times over the past ten(?) years on a variety of hardware both single boot and dual boot as Grub breaks for no apparent reason and it has never failed to drag me out of the mire. The only hiccough was with my secure boot machines where I had disabled secure boot but Boot Repair needs you to go into Advanced settings and untick secure boot there. Took me a little while to find :-) Apart from that, absolutely perfect! I was going to ask where to donate but I've just found it on the home page. So thank you as well for not getting in my face with donate requests like some other projects. Brilliant!

The individuals experiencing lock ups and problems, are likely having issues with their hardware, i.e, video cards, hard drives, or memory. I downloaded the 64-bit iso, and used Rufus to create a bootable UEFI and/or legacy BIOS USB. I used it to repair a Windows 10 / Parrot dual boot. Windows performed an update and broke GRUB. It was easier to use than booting to live Parrot and then attempting to download the additional PPAs and whatnot. Booted right up, chose English, chose 64bit session failsafe, connected to a WiFi network, updated the software, chose system tools, boot repair, used recommended options. Software ran for about 10 minutes and then I rebooted. GRUB was fixed. If the software had not found any partitions, I would have tested the disk in depth.
