Thanks pro...I still working 2 days to get grub loader but your video helpful to install boot loader.. Thanks for your knowledge to install grub loader❤
WORKED LIKE A CHARM. HP gave me a very hard time about dual booting. I have been looking for it for DAYS I couldn't imagine the answer was easy as boot-repair (all I needed)
On mid 2020, a few more steps are asked (easy), and it all works perfectly! Went to a technician and asked for help, they wanted to put a new hard drive, you save me 170 euros man, thank you so much!
I accidentally deleted the grub file in my hard disk on Windows. And now when trying to boot into Windows the grub loads but didn't load completed and then says grub error 15
Thank you very much! I'm using Ubuntu quite simple, just browsing and E-mailing. After a power failure the computer didn't boot anymore, and with this video, I managed to get it working again. This is absolutely a futuristic tutorial !!!
Thank you buddy! This recipe still works, after 8 years! I always use Ubuntu live cd to repair anything I have broken in my Debian or Windows, and this time it has helped me again.
6 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Thank you! One of the best tutorials I've ever seen! Using the phone to film all the stages had helped me a lot!!
1. Windows actually creates 2 partitions because 1st is for holding Windows Bootloader EFI files. Booting directly into Windows C drive (sda3 in this case) may not work if Legacy support is off from UEFI menu. 2. I prefer using GRUB Customiser for editing grub.cfg file because everytime Ubuntu kernel was updated, Ubuntu will recreate grub.cfg with duplicate entries. And GRUB Customiser also allows hiding entries which may be useful for those who has Legacy support off. And also GRUB Customiser has easy to use GUI.
Thanks ..........but ....I have two different hard drives with Windows 10 and Ubuntu ...............and I do use a cool switcher to boot which hard drive to use.......I had major crazy issues with dual boot.
great! this worked!! I was looking for hours to solve my problem, I just put the ssd from my old laptop from work into a new one, (I didnt want to make a clean linux mint install), and the new one didnt detect grub, thanks!!!
You saved my day as well! You described exactly what I did (first had ubunutu and then installed windows10). Now I can see grub again. You also described the steps to fix this very well. Great video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the video! It helped me answer the question of whether or not grub-mkconfig needs to be invoked for boot entry changes to persist on the next boot. And congratulations on successfully repairing your bootloader!
What's FlexNet at 7:00? By the way, a volume does have an underlying partition, so it's both a partition and a volume. But unlike a partition, a volume can consist of more than one partition and span several physical disks.
Thanks a LOT, Your video worked, after trying lots of things like easyBCD etc nothing worked. I have 1 HHD and 1 SSD in my PC, SSD has two OS win 10 and ubuntu, and HDD has win 10, total 3 OS, I tried to format win 10 of HDD, BUT I messed up everything., after lots of efforts found your video, tried and now all 3 OS works fine with grub bootloader
thank you. nothing else I tried worked. I thought I would have to reinstall after a failed update on linux mint ruined my grub. I modified slightly your instructions for my situation and booted from a linux mint live CD. other than that i followed your instructions and now am happily back up and running
What should I do for os in external drive ? Should I off the flags of internal storage and go for repairing? Is this is a correct way? To repair the external drive
Thanks for posting this, helpful! I am new to Linux and using terminal for everything, so I am often searching for the correct commands. Used part of the directions and some creativity to edit my grub start-up order. I now have my Windows OS as first choice and Linux (Mint Xfce) second. Mint Xfce uses xed for text editing, so in grub directory the command line changes to 'sudo xed grub.cfg'.
Thanks mate, A little bit tricky , but got there in the end.I really needed this fix as I install duel boot for a lot off my customers who want to come over to Ubuntu. Ubuntu is new to me, I love it, but still need windows, now that windows 10 has appeared on the scene . Regards James Ireland.
Awesome i really appreciate that. This video is great for me. I have faced 2nd time this issue and i have fixed it. 😍👍 First time i think that i have lost my os but so i have boot it again and lost my data. But this time i start find the issues finally i got this videos. You are a life saver 😍😍🙏👍
Thanks very much.. since I have just started using linux.I was foolish I tried all the commands without internet access so I got error everytime. Now I got it.thanks it helped me
Nice video, only recommendation, at 11:00 I would comment out that code, rather than deleting it completely. At least the memtest blocks. Never know when you might wanna reload those menu entries.
I don't think it's safe to change grub.cfg. Rather the /etc/default/grub and generate the grub.cfg afterwards by executing update-grub. This is because grub.cfg is automatically generated and it self checks itself in case of issues and incompatibilities in order to minimise chances of fatal errors.
It worked Thank you, The 2nd HD that was managing the boot menu crashed. I can now see AV and Mint alongside windows on 1st HD after following the steps from video.
what is the differencebetween long term support and the none LTS version? why someone would want shorter support? and why the none LTS version seems newer? (18.10 vs 18.04 LTS atm)
Everything in your process was working out great, until I launched the boot-repair app. When the GUI loaded, it was missing the "Recommended Repair" button (and the "Advanced options" button), it just had the "Create Bootinfo Summary" button. I tried launching it a few more times with the same GUI, so no joy. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any ideas?
How does the GRUB menu influence (or not) the sleep mode / hibernate mode of widows & Linux ? any problem , anything to be aware of in that regards? thank you
i have another problem with my grub - since fresh installation. why do i land in a grub command line by rebooting my ubuntu, why do have i to interrupt it with esc to enter another boot loader where i chose my hard disk as boot device to boot my ubuntu and why do i get one more entry of one more "ubuntu" betwen CD and harddrive each time i boot ubunto by using the escape button?
Damn it really worked on my 20.04 too🥳🥳!! honestly thank u very much from the bottom of my heart 💕🤝 Too the point...detailed explanation... one of the perfect video
Did not work for me. I could do all the steps you did and in the end it said „Bootloader successfully repaired“, however, still booting to Windows. Now I understand, why so few people are using Linux. It is so hard to get it running. Very sad, that it only seems to be possible to set up a dual boot for professionals...
Tim Danger, I would recommend the excellent Linux Mint with the 'cinnamon' desktop if you are a newbie. For a general idea about installing a Linux OS, here is a very good link Linux Mint 19 For Windows Users: th-cam.com/video/eI7QQqnV1P8/w-d-xo.html If you are running Windows and would like to dual boot, detailed below is more or less the procedure I went through with a few personal notes. I run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS alongside Windows 10 and it goes really good and is stable. ( you may want to substitute the Mint 19 cinnamon iso instead of the Ubuntu iso, otherwise the steps are identical). Let Mint partition the HDD automatically, just suggest how much disk space you want. I found this the best (really excellent) user friendly guide to dual booting: How To Install Ubuntu Linux Alongside Windows 10 (UEFI); everydaylinuxuser.com/2015/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-alongside.html note that the USB stick is used to install the Linux OS from within Windows itself, easy. How To Install Ubuntu Linux Alongside Windows 10 (Standard Bios, non UEFI); www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2015/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-alongside_8.html Can't comment on this guide as mine is UEFI. IMPORTANT; There is also a guide on the site to CLEANLY de-installing Ubuntu if you find that you don't want it. IMPORTANT; Bear in mind that Linux and Windows run differently on the hardware clock. I changed my Windows clock (easier) to run on UTC time, (do this before dual boot install) here is a guide to that: mikebeach.org/2011/04/10/windows-linux-dual-boot-system-time-issues/ Also during installation if you're asked -do you want to verify the install (or something like that) -say NO! (trust me on this). Download and use 'Etcher' to burn your Ubuntu (or Mint) image onto USB drive (use a reliable stick), simpler than others such as SD-Formater, I find anyway. Have your WiFi password handy during the install (and also make note of your new Ubuntu password) and do the updates (including 3rd party software) at the same time. I hope this is of some help if want to give Dual-booting a go. Read through the guides mentioned, make notes (better yet print them out), change to UTC time in windows, burn the Ubuntu (Mint) disc image using Etcher and use a good stick. Take your time and you should be fine!
I think windows 10 change something about the way it loads. It now prevents the dual boot from working. I tried several times to install and it did not work.
MrNihilist74, I think maybe the Grub2 bootloader is broken in your case. Following info is excerpted from Linux Format Magazine, issue; LXF227 You can use the 'Rescatux' distribution to restore MBR, repair bootloaders, and more. It comes in handy if you Dual-boot as it works in Windows and Linux. This Distro is meant to be used as a live medium - transfer the ISO onto a disc or USB (make it bootable) and boot from it. You'll get a graphical interface called 'Rescapp' divided into various categories, Grub, Filesystem, Boot and Password with their respective utilities. Many problems with the Grub2 bootloader can be resolved with the touch of a button in Boot-Repair (Expert Tools category) in the Rescapp utility. Follow the tool's advice and simply press the Recommended repair button, which should fix most broken bootloaders. www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux
Sir I followed the same steps but still my grub is not showing, it is directly opening windows 10 after restart from whichever be the os(I.e if I restart from windows or if I restart from ubuntu ) But I am able to see the grub after I have shut down the pc, I am not able to choose the os from the grub after restart. Please help sir
At the final step to apply the recommended setting. Facing error like "can't proceed in the legacy mode. Try again in uief mode." And if I set to the Uief boot mode settings. I am not able to find option to load from usb. By the way I have created live usb with ubuntu os. Mine is windows 10. And I used to run dual boot with ubuntu and later deleter partition and grub loader and want it back. Please help me.
so, I can't just download Boot Repair from the GUI? I did this before, but not with a live USB....and it refused to work because it needed a LIVE USB. Also, in my boot manager (blue box where I select which OS I want), I see the entries of Linux distros i deleted, but there is no sda associated with them because I formatted the partitions to put another distros there. So, in the terminal, will the old sda be there still? And, for me, if so, it will be the same #s as what i have now
Bro, you do help everyone. Including those with alzheimers or general short term memory loss. But in being serious, you do a good job at keeping people reminded of what the fuck is going on. It's annoying, but it's exactly necessary. That's genius on your part. Jajaja. If you were to make videos you edit out all the basic steps and cut out time, you could sell it as a series of "novice" "standard" "Advanced".
Great video. I need to ask you something. How can I change de list of OS or the option by default? I need to start Windows by default instead of Ubuntu. I already have GRUB installed and both OS.
This works great! But after I visited my W10 os, Grub never came up again. So I restarted my pc with installation-USB stick with Linux Mint 19.1 on it, and restored my LM using Timeshift, and I’m back. What could be wrong? Both OS are installed on a different NVME ( it worked fine for months but maybe MS is messing things up with an update????
You can also use Rufus, but PenDrive is dedicated to Linux. Programs that are meant to turn USBs into Boot Drives using ISOs is what you want in general.
dude!!! you saved my life!!! I was freaking out! I had no grub at all after deleting and re-installing a version of Ubuntu along windows. Thanks so much for this video!
I have dual booted windows 8 and ubuntu but the default bootloader is not grub, it is windows hence I cant choose my os on startup. Does this make the dafault bootloader grub?
i did installed ubuntu 17.04 or whatever latest version.... I've made manual partitions and now it's showing me Windows 7 on boot...but does not open it when booting. i kept on trying but I'm done.... please help
Hello, boot repair helped me to recover win10 but grub opt did not appear in restarts instead boot to win10 direct. I install ubuntu along side win10 opt. After ubuntu install I mess with few partations bt not main drive and trash few options in grub customizer. likein video, i didn't find grub.cfg in drives. can I recover my ubuntu again..
This solution din´t work for me, and now no even the live stick, is able to be detected, , no grub inside the boot I guess, I have a dual boot, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 20.04, set in separated SSHD, the problems begin when updating from 18.04 to 20.04, separating the disk, make the only disk with Ubuntu 20.04, start, but trying your solution in the both disk configuration, did went wrong, and now I´m stuck, please if you can make a recommendation, please help.
After clicking on recommend I am getting error "The current session is in Legacy mode. Please reboot the computer, and use this software in an EFI session. This will enable this feature. For example, use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode
hi, Ive done the first part of things u say up to part 5) in the video description but however when i reboot im just sent to windows no question asked, nothing changed :(
I should really thank you because I was just horribly got stuck .....
thanks a bundle...
may the Code be with you!
Thank you, from 2019. This fix is confirmed to work with Ubuntu 18.04.
i was surprised it even worked just tried
it out in 2019
I tried it and it installed the grub but the boot option Windows 10 is unfound and when I rebooted the grub is gone

Check your connection. If not connected, connect with a working network.
I don't think it's safe to change grub.cfg. Rather the /etc/default/grub and generate the grub.cfg afterwards by executing update-grub.
This is because grub.cfg is automatically generated and it self checks itself in case of issues and incompatibilities in order to minimise chances of fatal errors.

You can also use Rufus, but PenDrive is dedicated to Linux. Programs that are meant to turn USBs into Boot Drives using ISOs is what you want in general.
dude!!! you saved my life!!! I was freaking out! I had no grub at all after deleting and re-installing a version of Ubuntu along windows. Thanks so much for this video!
I have dual booted windows 8 and ubuntu but the default bootloader is not grub, it is windows hence I cant choose my os on startup. Does this make the dafault bootloader grub?

Hello, boot repair helped me to recover win10 but grub opt did not appear in restarts instead boot to win10 direct. I install ubuntu along side win10 opt. After ubuntu install I mess with few partations bt not main drive and trash few options in grub customizer. likein video, i didn't find grub.cfg in drives. can I recover my ubuntu again..
perfect step by step instructions that work so well. Thank you!
This solution din´t work for me, and now no even the live stick, is able to be detected, , no grub inside the boot I guess, I have a dual boot, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 20.04, set in separated SSHD, the problems begin when updating from 18.04 to 20.04, separating the disk, make the only disk with Ubuntu 20.04, start, but trying your solution in the both disk configuration, did went wrong, and now I´m stuck, please if you can make a recommendation, please help.
Having issues with UEFI legacy bios mode. Not sure what to do. Not an ubuntu guy 😔
No, this didn't work for me. The grub loader is still missing and i am directed to ubuntu directly after restart :(
Damn really worked, saved me 4 to 5 hours, atleast.
Great worked for me as well 👍👍👍 btw I m using Ubuntu 18.04
Thanks man. Your instructions have helped me a lot.
How long it takes to load when we tap on TRY UBUNTU WITHOUT INSTALLING??
a few minutes.
Hi Sam, thanks for your work. This saved me a ton of time.
After clicking on recommend I am getting error "The current session is in Legacy mode. Please reboot the computer, and use this software in an EFI session. This will enable this feature. For example, use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode
Great video. Thank you very much. It works even today
worked like a charm! thanks so much!
