I started this process based upon what the pros that I subscribe to on YouTube and on the web. So, thanks to the developers at long last I have my tower which I built back and running again. In this way I can neither condemn or praise it. I went swimmingly easy! The irony of responding to the survey is that all of them were easy to install, they just did not work for me as to what I was trying to do. So I followed the instructions and watched the video 3 times and did what it said. I was desparate!įinally, I took notice of Rescatux which at first I didn't even know that I had downloaded. I used Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Chrome Developer, Firefox Developer. I went to every website that would pop-up onto my screen when I entered a query into the search engine. At first, it all went to hell in a handbasket.
SUPER GRUB2 WINDOWS 10 WINDOWS 10
The problem came from dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 on two separate drives in the same tower. I watched, I don't know how many videos thinking that I was doing something wrong and the result was the same wasted at least 8 to 10 days seeking to save my data and software. The problem was not just with this app, in fact all but the Rescatux did nothing except frustrate me. You can also use it to start the Super Grub2 Disk utility. Via the minimal boot menu, you can initiate the live environment for 32-bit or 64-bit platforms. I used both the beta and the stable versions with the same result. Rescatux provides you with universal system rescue CD for Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems. I put the USB into the computer and rebooted and it did nothing but run me in circles. Enjoy it.The issue was that I installed the app just as it is described. No error reported.įinally, get out of Chroot and restart the system naturally: # exitĪfter this, Grub2 should appear without problems and you should chose between Windows and Linux again.
SUPER GRUB2 WINDOWS 10 INSTALL
We install the GRUB2 in the MBR (the partition where Windows is located): # grub2-install -recheck /dev/sdb Then, we change the current directory to "/mnt" to reinstall GRUB2 as if we were executing the commands in the original Fedora instead of the LiveUSB/CD # chroot /mnt Next, we need to mount "/dev" and "/proc" # mount -bind /dev /mnt/dev/ mint mint We also need to mount "/boot" partition, if you don't have this partition, just skip this step: # mkdir /mnt/boot #mount /dev/mapper/vgroup-lvroot /mnt/rootĬhange the "vgroup" with your Volume Group name.

Once we fact check our partitions, we need to mount the partition where "/" is located: # mkdir /mnt/root dev/sdb5 -> LVM partitions (Physical volume) └─vgroup-lvswap 253:2 0 7.4G 0 lvm įirst we need to find what partition is which system. Once we get inside its Terminal we search for the different partitions available, mine are: # lsblk First of all, we need to use any Fedora LiveUSB/CD to navigate through our Linux system. I want to be clear, if you have UEFI partitions the process could change. Please, note that I did this in Legacy partitions not in UEFI partitions. (MBR is for Legacy partitions, if you have UEFI it would be GPT instead of MBR in Windows). This problem occurs when you reinstall Windows in a dual boot environment, as the boot configuration of the system is stored in the MBR of Windows, Windows rewrites this MBR and the Grub gets lost forever. I hope this can help a huge amount of people.

So I will explain here what I did to have my Fedora booting again after installing Windows 10. I came across the problem a few days ago and googling it I found a solution and implemented it with a little variance of mine, just because I have LVM partitions instead of standard ones.
