boot-repair Reviews

Fabulous : how many did this tool help me recovering the disk architecture :-)

I had to rebuild a RAID array due to poor original design of array. I broke the boot because the UUID of a new drive was different. Yeah, I could manually fix it, but I knew it would take a while to lumber through the process, having never done it before. I booted the USB stick and five minutes later was up and running! It only gets four because I could give it 4-1/2 :).

This is possibly my absolute favourite tool ever written. Thank you so much, I have no words -- perhaps due to sleep deprivation. I love this tool.

Worked perfectly for a boot issue that was driving me insane. Thank you so much for this simple easy to use project!

My hp pc has experienced the hang in the process of boot; there are 2 boot options(xubuntu and win 10); then after running win 10 for a few times, it starts to jump to win 10 directly w/o showing boot options; then one day, it just hang there w/ blank screen; after running BIOS diagnose, it shows no hard drive detected; reboot a few times, it still just hang there. After doing some google search, I know this is due to 'fast start up' of win 10, which hijack the boot options; if fixing the issue by hands, I'll have to go into all the details of boot process; and if a mistake were made, then the boot data can be damaged; even the data on the hard drive can be ruined too; it may take a few months to get everything cleared out. I know microsoft is creating huge problems for the world(my win 7 can't be used any more, since win 7 keep updating even after disabling the update, which causes the network connection disappear forever) Then via google search, I find boot-repair; following ubuntu's instruction of how to run boot-repair step by step; the whole system got recovered in just a few minutes; and I know the boot data is backup-ed just in case of mistakes; so feel peace of mind; and helpful community is ready to help, feeling great:) Highly respect the boot-repair team, one of best open source project.

Worked like charm to me. So I had a Windows 10 on a separate SSD and also an HDD wich was used as a file storage. I've tried to install Ubuntu 20.04 on that HDD, and kinda succeed, GRUB was on my SSD and I could load both systems, but Ubuntu had some major issues so I decided to remove it and try once again when I'll be prepared better. So I've deleted partitions that contained Ubuntu, and maybe did something else, can't remember. Something went wrong. GRUB entered rescue mode and for some reason pressing any key caused multiple symbols to appear, so I could't enter any command. There was no boot option to load Windows in UEFI boot menu either. So I've booted from Ubuntu 20.04 USB flash and came across Boot-repair after some research . And it ressurected my Windows 10 bootloader in just couple of clicks, I've explored my files for some time and looks like nothing is lost. Sorry for my English, I am a Russian-speaker with practically no spoken/written practice.

like, i know you can chroot from a live cd and just fix grub that way, but man, this is way, way, easier. very slick.

The only distro/tool that fixed my UEFI/multiboot conflicts and corrupted MBRs !

Saved me hours of troubleshooting. Super easy to use. Great docs. +100 Thanks!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! You saved my server! THANK YOU!!!

Good

Worked on my new Dell laptop with dual boot. Won't work om my Intel with two hard drives and dual boot. Can't access or boot my Widows drive?

Unbelievable. This software has saved me multiple times. I really thought I had erased my entire hard drive, yet this fixed it super-quick, amazing. Thank you for making this.

HELP! I have a Win 7 laptop and a separate Win 7 hard drive that I thought needed MBR repair. i was under a lot of major stress for other reasons so when I came across this tool. I didn't read the bold print let alone the fine print. I attached the separate Win 7 drive as an external drive to my Win 7 laptop. I then ran the tool and to my horror it had killed my Win 7 OS. I couldn't see anything in the program to "Undo" what I had done. And I don't know anything about Ubuntu to know what happened much less know if there's a way to fix this. I'm running the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard on it but it's almost 50% completed and it's not finding anything on what was an almost full drive. Oh and did I say it was a McAfee encrypted drive? The McAfee tool would allow me to access the files if I PXE boot the laptop with the drive in it using a decrypting file the tool provides. But it's not even recognizing the drive with the Ubuntu changes. Any ideas on how to back this out?

After reinstallation of Ubuntu alongside win7 was not able to boot, boot-repair fixed the issue. Thank you!

nice

WOW...!! I would Never have thought that Parallel install Of Linux on a Windows Disk that screwd up the ntfs Boot Sectors so Bad the PC would only Boot to POST then Die..! Installed Slacko on USB.. Worked the Grub dual Booter until I got to a Recovery Screen.. Once into windows.. Installed Boot-Repair onto it.. Booted from in and ran it... With Fingers & Toes Crossed !! Now,.. Boots fine..! Lost Not ONE File. ! All my Family Photos of my kids are on that HD.. You are a Life Saver. !!! I am Recommending this Sweeeeet ISO to EVERYONE ..!! Thank-you again ! Keep these Awesome Programs Coming..!! ...

I couldn't find the download button anywhere but found the file, eventually sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/

Very good! Saved my day after lots of other tries. Thank you so much!

Click the "Home" button above in order to get presentation of the tool.

where can i find the link to download???????????

Thank you yannabuntu! I upgraded the linux side of a windows7/fedora laptop and mangled the boot loader, I guess. Your disk repaired it! I really appreciated the paste.ubuntu.com page with the summary of boot-repairs findings. Excellent job.

You are a godsend! If you had a way to donate I would! Fixed my faulty Master Boot Record

I had to use Boot-Repair on my Dell Latitude D610 installation of Linux Mint 13. The way it worked for me was to insert the Boot-Repair disc, reboot my laptop, allowed the program to run, a pop-up screen asked for my language which was defaulted at "English" and without pressing anything I allowed the timer to count down and a few moments later the Boot-Repair program loaded and from there I chose the "Recommended" option and next it asked for my WiFi password, finished repairing, so I ejected the disk and rebooted, chose my Linux Mint install and was at the Welcome screen shortly after that! Thanks Sourceforge!

This saved me again. Many thanks.
