A great software! some 3 years ago, when i tried to install linux - ubuntu in my win vista - laptop, i messed up and couldnt load windows anymore - i lost access to all drives except thro linux, if i remember right.. Horrible thing in the middle of a struggle to submit a thesis, - the service person didnt know how to fix it, he wanted to format it - but rescatux saved me.. thank you :) - i created this account today when i suddenly saw rescatux on featured downloads- had to say its good, right :)

The ISO is now too big to fit on a CD, which makes it useless to me.

thank you, with password reset you save me few hours of installation, usually you can put a little more than 700 MB on standard cd, enough for this distribution

Never completes booting on new Eniac-built system. Have drives in from older AM2 Phenom system on new Ryzen 9 5900X system, but can't sort the grub out. Hoped for some help.

Fantastic Gnu/Linux distribution!!!

worked great for me

Accidentally blew up my partition table on my backup drive (oops). Was terribly annoyed by the Windows "solutions", as it should been a quick fix - fugettaboutit; Rescatux had it up in running in minutes. Thanks for all the effort in such a great product.

This is an excellent tool, that solved my issue with a no more starting notebook (Ubuntu/Windows) due to an issue with GRUB. I had no need for support, but rated this excellent, assuming that it have same quality as the tool. Excellent description, even when processing skipped over some steps. Grub was repaired and updated, everything is working as expected. Thank you very much!

Brilliant. I lost my Debian install on a dual boot Debian / W10 install, and after floundering around with following www.linux.com/training-tutorials/how-rescue-non-booting-grub-2-linux/ (which didn't work initially, and then became too complicated to troubleshoot), Refind which simply didn't work for me, and my own blundering around, Rescatux provided a simple and fast recovery. Just pressing the "Easy Gnu/Linux Boot Fix" button, and following the instructions had me up and running again within 1/2 an hour.

Llegué a esta aplicación teniendo poca idea de Linux y me sirvió para recuperar una partición dañada de una compu con partición dual. Me ayudó muchísimo.

One of the must-have admin tools. Now I can change Linux password too (the previous releases failed, I don't know why but now it's OK). Just some suggestions: 1) Add hdparm ( it can be useful for for different cool tasks: e.g. I use it to securely sanitize SSD drives) 2) Update Testdisk/Photorec to 7.1 or 7.2 (2019 release)

Your idea to use wizard through all repair process is very friendly for newbies. But who need to perform repair of an OS installation often? Newbies. Thank you for this tool.

After installing Debian to my second HDD and choosing to install GRUB to the same drive from the install program, I was unable to boot from the second HDD when selected from the BIOS boot menu (message: "Missing operating system"). I downloaded Rescatux, burned it to a DVD, booted from it and selected the option to repair GRUB. After a couple of choices were presented to me I selected the correct choices to boot from my second HDD. Rescatux installed GRUB on my second HDD after finding all other operating systems on the first and second HDDs. I rebooted, selected the second HDD from the BIOS boot menu, selected my fresh Debian installation from the GRUB boot menu installed by Rescatux and was able to boot into my fresh Debian installation. This software saved me a lot of problems and searching to find and fix the problem and I thank psychoticwarrior on irc.freenode.net ##linux for suggesting it to me!

This is a really awesome tool, saved me tons of time! When installing the Ubuntu 16 on a laptop, somehow my grub got messed up and the machine won't boot, and not even see the grub, now within 10 mins, it fixed everything! Thanks!

Just saved me hours of reinstalling 2 OSes on my laptop. You guys are awesome.

Rescatux has saved my bacon on several occasions. An outstanding and free gem. Thank you SourceForge for your support of Open Source software ;)
