NAME

Boot-Repair - Graphical tool to repair boot problems

SYNOPSIS

boot-repair

DESCRIPTION

In some situation, you might loose access to one or several of your operating systems, because of a buggy update, a bootloader problem, a broken filesystem, or after installing a new OS (e.g. installing Windows breaks Linux bootloader).
Boot-Repair is a graphical tool that will repair these problems, generally by reinstalling GRUB, which then restores access to the operating systems you had installed before the issue.
Boot-Repair also has advanced options for reinstalling GRUB, adding kernel options, restoring a generic MBR, or repair a broken filesystem. It can also restore the original bootsector if it has been saved previously by Clean-Ubiquity.

OPTIONS

-e, --efi: displays basic information about EFI and SecureBoot
-i, --info: displays version and basic system information
-v, --version: displays the version
