Then, as root, run the following command:įor Grub2: The command is distribution dependent - see belowĭebian-based (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kubuntu.), Arch Linux, most others To do that, reboot your system from the hard drive and let Grub boot into Linux.
VISUAL GRUB INSTALL
Before installing BootIt BM again, it is recommended that you first install Grub to the Linux root partition (or to the /boot partition if you have a separate one), so that you can later boot Linux from BootIt BM. From there, it is suggested that you follow the procedure below to recover.ġ. In this case, you will be presented with the BootIt BM Setup prompt, as if it had never been installed. If you are not offered the option to Reactivate BootIt BM when booting from the Setup media, this means that Grub has also overwritten the EMBR area on HD0, and that you will need to install BootIt BM again. Section 2 - The EMBR has also been overwritten: On the next reboot, BootIt BM will be back as before, and you will be able to boot Linux by setting up (if not already set up) a Linux boot item in Boot Edit.
VISUAL GRUB CODE
Doing this will automatically move Grub from the MBR to the Linux partition's boot sector, and then put the BootIt BM code back in the MBR. If offered, accept the Reactivate option and follow the prompts given. If you are not offered the Reactivate option, this indicates that the EMBR on HD0 has also been overwritten, and that you should proceed to Section 2 below. If you are offered the option to Reactivate BootIt BM, this means that GRUB, in fact, has only overwritten the MBR. Section 1 - Only the MBR has been overwritten:īoot the system from your BootIt BM Setup media (CD/DVD, USB flash drive, or floppy disk). This means that Grub is now appearing when you boot the system, instead of BootIt BM.
Note that the procedures in sections 1 and 2 below assume that Grub has, in fact, been installed to the MBR of HD0. If in doubt about which of the 2 situations above applies to you, follow the procedure in Section 1 first. The EMBR is also overwritten, which is more involved. The consequences of installing Grub to the MBR will usually fall into one of two categories:ġ. This results in BootIt BM getting overwritten so that, on the next reboot, Grub appears instead of BootIt BM. This article is intended to help BootIt BM users recover from the situation where the Grub boot loader gets installed (usually unintentionally) to the MBR during a Linux installation. Important: This article is relevant for both Grub legacy and Grub2
