@@bharathgowda3579 try using exit command and entering something I am a noob Soo that's the only thing I have in mind... Idk commands that can help you... Maybe try the grub rescue link in the comment you commented to.
I wish you had posted this a day earlier. I had to reinstall grub yesterday when Windows nuked out my boot loader altogether. In BIOS, there was no Ubuntu or Windows Boot Manager option. Ended up fixing it with boot-repair but glad you made this video anyways
I am having the same issue that my laptop boots directly into windows. My question is that can I safely delete that linux partition now if I want to or will then not even win will boot up? pls help
Never put win and lin boot loaders in the same partition...big mistake, as you now know. Use two separate boot partitions, and for win and one for lin. interestingly, you can tell lin where you want it to put the boot loader.
Really helpful info. I watched your video of fixing OEM/MBR partition as I might deleted one and then followed that video but I messed with either MBR or GRUB in my dual boot OS laptop. So, it was showing me ‘missing operating system’ error but then this video helped me fix it and now life is normal. I wish I could know this tool earlier to help lot of my friends in fixing issues with boot. Amazing video :)
Thanks Chris, I did fix my grub bootloader after a win10 update using super grub + grub-customiser with just one more action though, in grub-customiser saving the config wasn't enough I had to do "Install to MBR" to get the new config applied.
When you dual boot Windows and Linux install Linux in a separate partition. I stall the grub in the linux partition, don't install grub in windows. Then install Easy BCD in windows, this way you will have two separate OS and one will not harm the other.
You saved me! Google nowadays doesnt provide answers anymore... I had to rely on random RU-vid Videos before finding this alternative method to boot into my Linux OS
I triple boot my Mac with Windows, macOS, and Linux. My fix for the boatloader issue was to install each OS on its own drive, leaving the other two drives physically disconnected as I installed each OS. That way each OS physically can’t touch the other’s boatloader when installing.

Tech joke for the day: Using windows: Windows update break your computer (Oh my god!) Using Mac OSX: Oh just $19.99! Using GNU/Linux: Yay! New features!
@@evagenesiz7802 dd stands for disk duplicate, it essentially duplicates the disk or disk image to a device or file making a perfect bit by bit copy, this includes the boot table if it was on the same device
I don't know about other distros, but from Mint, making a bootable usb disk from any image file is just a right-click away. The USB Image Writer app was part of Mint back in 2019 as well. Super simple program, works awesomely. No need to go looking for device ids.
My problem is normal but weird. I have a tri-boot with win 10, 11, and Linux. I did probably the bad thing which is lazily I used the installer to accomplish shrinking and creating the vacant space on a separate partition where Win 10 resided. Now, I can access all three systems. Success. But not exactly. It takes two tries to get into Win 10 from the grub menu. Win 11 no problem. It's annoying to boot twice, but it must be something easily fixed, or not. Help!?
i have a complicated situation. i have a nextbook nx16w1124 with windows 8 on it. it was really slow so tested bliss os in live and it ran really well. when i installed it it would not boot i messed with grub and everything to try to boot it. when i gave up on that i said lets just go back to windows.... it wont boot from the recovery, shell says it cant boot it. this device also has dnx fastboot on it. to my understanding it can run windows or android. at this point i just want it working. do you have any ideas?
I've given up on bootloaders working with Windows! I just install Windows by itself, then I make sure Linux disks is listed first in the BIOS . I just use the motherboards Boot options to select the windows boot disk (I hardly ever boot into it now) less hassle than having to repair grub every 3 or 4 times i boot into windows.
I don't have problems with either boot loader. Windows will typically only overwrite grub on Feature Updates, but I generally have these locked down to about every 18 months on a Windows PC as I delay them, because they are usually a dumpster fire on launch. Also, you can just add a Linux entry into the Windows Bootloader, as you don't have to use grub.
I did the same thing. I had 2 HDDs in the case, 1 for windows and 1 Linux. I just hit F12 and selected the HDD I wanted. This worked well for me as I had Dual Boot issues twice and gave up on that! Now days Windows is Gone (2 Years).. Now the Windows HDD is a storage drive.. Lol LLAP
@@ChrisTitusTech Think it's my motherboards BIOS/EFI that's the issue. it's an OLD Motherboard (got it around 2013) and it was never happy with Win 10 in EUFI mode.
@@s0litaire2k I have a modern motherboard (X570) but I am an old-school guy who doesn't understand how to use the UEFI. My previous motherboard was for an i5-750, I missed all of UEFI. :/
Not the partition, just the bootloader. Bad enough though, it would be easy for MS to detect which other OS is on there and where it starts and neatly include it in their bootloader if they insist on the user using the Windows bootloader.

Chris, Did I miss something because I didn't see anywhere in the vid where you showed how to repair a boot problem. You showed us some fancy software, but didn't make it obvious how to use the software to "fix" a boot issue.
Hey Chris, I have a dual boot system UEFI and new nvme disk. I can boot on ubuntu but not win10. No repair works and I cannot use a usb with win10 to repair. It does not work. I also used boot-repair from ubuntu but still not luck. How can I use supergrub to repair the windows boot loader? I cannot boot via usb to windows and cannot use the command line. Thanks
Hey I want you to know that I was able to follow this and use Super Grub Disk to boot back into Ubuntu Linux and use Grub Customizer to reinstall Grub back to the MBR! I used Balena Etcher to flash Super Grub Disk 2 to two USB drives. This is a real lifesaver because it means my dial boot works again! If Windows overwrites Grub again I will be prepared.
For a weird reason, I can clip/trim your videos and share the trimmed section of them. The "Clip" RU-vid button just appear here on your channel. A very specific A/B test, perhaps.
In this days we all have many drives, Gt an "icy Dock" and learn ho o use it and save yourself from the fear of boot loader corruption. Unless it happens on a single OS system, I run into many problem but BL is not one of them. But could happen, So great tps and nice video, will keep this fixer because it can happen to everyone.
I got a new step while dual boot parrot. That is, "detect network hardware". It's showing "No ethernet card was detected." Then gives me list of driver name . But there was no driver that match to my ethernet card. There is a another option that is "No ethernet card". If I select this and complete the installation , while I using parrot, it has no wi-fi option. I tried to install wi-fi driver but it's not working . And installing Kali-Linux is same as well. I don't know why ? plz help me . I'm trying for a month.
I was actually able to boot in MX Linux using this tool, but I have not been able to set it up to boot normally. I have tried a couple of other Windows utilities: EasyBCD and Grub2Win. So far, nothing has worked. Any suggestions?
This program does not work! It says Booting Operating System then Welcome to GRUB. About two minutes later it says Error then Entering Grub Rescue mode. I get a flashing underscore cursor and nothing else happens. Kubuntu 23.10 non bootable. I was hoping this would fix my system. I had to boot from an old Kubuntu 19.10 live USB to get back here. Obviously my computer works it just can't boot after last nights update.
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you could do a dive into Free IPA and Active Directory integration. It's something that no one really talks about and needs more exposure.
I still don't get it, downloaded the supergroove, but writing to a usb card and then boot from there is not clear in this description, also howto repair the boot, I loose my windows, I only can boot in linux mint
So, I tried installing puppy linux, and I have no clue what I am doing. I ended up putting the boot for my puppy to sda 1 and the rest of my shit to sda 2. Then tried installing steam, but then it had I had no space left and then it kicked me out of puppy and I rebooted my system and now I am stuck at Missing operating system. The sda 1 had 500mb and the sda 2 had 900gb.
Pls pls pls help me, i dont know much about linux, i tried same as u shown in video just typed sdb1 for my usb drive and not usb is not detecting in explorer,,,, but blkid showing two partitions of usb pls help me
Tks, was first looking for the command mode repair of dual boot via a live linux but this may just work as well. First few times I did this , suse fixed everything on install , just dualbooted itself with a menu choice. Now I have w 8.1 could be problem. Installing usb .... tks again.
even a newbie knows to install a clean version of windows first THEN INSTALL LINUX what do i do if i already installed linux after a clean install of windows and it was working fine for 6 months and lately i noticed i forgot about a 30 gb of unallocated space on my nvme boot drive and decided to triple boot another linux onto that space and it seems to install, Pure Os in this case but when i reboot except for the 1st time it alwasy just goes to the original windows/linux dualboot menu with no option for my newly installed pureos?
I dual boot with Windows 10 an another instance of Windows 10. One is strictly for gaming and the other productivity. In order to switch, you have to restart your system, wait until the choice appears to choose which OS you want to use, then click that button. I want a faster unattended way to do that. I want a one click solution to tell my Windows 10 to reboot and log into the other Windows os. Do you know of any batch files or tools that do that? Thanks.
Good day , I installed Kali on the same path with Windows 10, right now I can't boot into my windows , I have tried my solutions on RU-vid but it's not working . Is there any way you can help sir ?
Make a usb thumbdrive with Ventoy. Put this iso and your OS iso/Windows iso and other iso's of Linux distros you want to try out on there. And leave e.g 10 Gigs for programs you need. Cannot go wrong with that.
Man, this tool is niice. But it didn't work to get back my Windows 10 bootloader. Same black screen 0xc00000f error. This happened after installing kali on a seperate hard-drive. Tried windows recovery media but I either did it wrong or something. Can't find the BCD to rebuild at all. Confirmed both Kali-Linux and Windows systems are running GPT formatted systems. That means they're both UEFI, correct?
I install Manjaro on my HDD and now the Windows 10 installed on a SSD in the same computer isn't showing on the GRUB, I tried the method used in the video but the auto-detect doesn't found the windows boot...
I did something silly and triple booted. Zorin and windows on 1 disk and another linux on 2nd disk. Tried linux boot repair, various sudo commands and lots of booting using the live usb of linux when both failed. Eventually i went nuclear and re-installed windows on the other disk and deleted the linux since i had nothing important on them. Surprisingly i just added the entry using EasyBCD! I wonder if your way would have worked. I might have to find out if you don't answer. Cause you see i want to delete that windows I installed for the purpose of getting my original windows booting again. Will this make my original windows stop booting?
The reason that archive was so small is probably because it contains a disk image with a lot of empty space. Same reason dd ran so fast. Would be nice to mention in the video for new players. Just my 2 cents.
Hi Chris! If I only have one operating system installed like Mint or Parrot, Can I skip installing the grub in the Linux installation? Or is it still needed even for one operating system? Thanks for all the Linux videos! :D
You need a bootloader, but you can use Windows BootMGR or Linux GRUB it doesn't matter which. EasyBCD is windows software to use for boot modification or you can use GRUB like in this video.
I'm not the greatest at reading script files. I have a Macbook Pro dual booting Linux Mint. If I boot to grub, I don't have the list of 4-5 options like there usually is. Any ideas either from Chris or anyone who commented?
My config: windows is on a separate SATA SSD drive, nothing else touches it ... ever. Linux is on another drive, which can see windows via grub, but windows can't ever see Linux, so I am save :D I run Fedora (primary) on a super fast nvme, Manjaro on another old spinning drive which can see Fedora and windows in turn, so I can boot windows from Linux grub either way from both Fedora and Manjaro. IMO, bottom line is to never mix windows linux bootloaders on the main windows drive, that means never let windows be in charge of booting another OS, then you'll live a happy trouble free life.
A nice config though I can't tolerate spinning rust anymore. :) Why Fedora and Manjaro? Given that you put Fedora on the NVMe and Manjaro on spining rust I am inclined to think that for you Manjaro is for experimenting and Fedora is your daily driver.
@@peterjansen4826 Yep , Manjaro is just for fun to try out, it was just an old spare drive and I wanted to see what it is like, Runs surprisingly well on that old hard disk. I've run various distros on that drive to try. Manjaro has impressed me most so far so will stick with that for now. I've run Fedora since ever it existed .. even Redhat linux had before that, literally kernel 1.0 and up ... I have another spinning drive for backup. Fedora is for serious work .. as is windows for games and music.
@@afborro There is good music-production software on Linux too. Gaming is hit or miss, I play the games on Linux when I can (without sacrificing performance in a relevant way, I don't tolerate the FPS going all over the places or stutter) and on Windows when I have to. Some games don't run because of DRM (ridiculous!) and of course you have the problem with anti-cheat engines. For me the hardware (5700 XT) still is not properly supported on Linux unless it changed with the updates of a few days ago, once I install SC2 on Linux I will find out.

I'd love to use the rescue grub, but it may not fix what's broken which is a configuration problem outside the grub loader. A question I've been asking myself is what is happening between the 1st and 2nd try in entering Windows 10 that isn't happening on the first try. Is it an element of time, or something that is engaged after the 1st try that windows corrects-or linux corrects?
hey guys i used to dualboot windows 10 and elementry, then i installed pop os over top elementry and my dualboot option disappeared. watching a video to fix grub 6 months later, right now, i was told to update grub in terminal and as soon as i did that and rebooted my computer was BORKED!!!!! i was unable to boot into windows or pop os and was stuck at the very first screen that pops up when a computer starts to boot into bios. i was able to get into bios once some how but then after making chamges in bios i was greeted with a constant 3 beep warning then auto reset then another 3 beep warning etc and am now unable to even get the screen to post anything. its black screen only. the mobo is all lit up, psu and all other fans run but no output to screen at all. I have diassembled computer twice and removed cmos battery and reassembled and same thing, nothing, no screen nothing but fans and diodes on mobo lights up
I have Debian(installed first) then I shrunk partion and stuck on Kde Neon(both boot), now when I boot I have to pick the OS to boot, default is KDE Neon(if left alone). All I try and do to change the default back to Debian fail. Can you help me fix it? can you do a video on how to do it?
Can someone help me out here, so i messed my grub by updating windows then i went to fix it using grub rescue and i booted into linux but then i noticed that i have two efi partitions, i changed the boot order so that I won't have to type the bitlocler key again and again, now I can't boot into linux anymore. Now it won't take me to grub rescue anymore I have no idea what to do
Does this detect NVME drives by default? I have windows installed on my NVME drive and I've had issues with it being recognized by GRUB before. I actually somehow borked my Windows boot manager as well and had to install that on a separate drive than my OS to boot
Great video!! I've had SuperGrub2 on a live dvd for a couple of years. I once booted from it for a whole week, until I got things figured out. Another tool, which I keep on a live dvd is Gparted Live, if partitioning from the installer is confusing. Thumbs up,Chris!
