Dual boot repair

Post by smudge »

I dual boot and have Linux Mint on a seperate HDD to my windows. I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate and have lost the boot screen. If I boot into a live DVD and open GParted I can see the following:

Can I do a simple repair with:

Code: Select all

sudo grub-install
sudo update-grub
Or is this more complicated than this? This thread had me really confused.

It should work just fine. If not, try installing Grub2 Editor and manage your grub entries from there

You cannot reinstall grub this way from a live session.

From your live session generate a boot info, open a terminal :

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
apt update
apt install -y --install-recommends boot-info
boot-info
Provide the link pointing to the boot info summary.
