Super Grub Disk. PC Boot specialised Disk.

SGD

We want Linux newbies to restore their new toy, but also help the Linux advanced user make potentially dangerous operations to the MBR in a safe way. Super Grub Disk is also a teaching tool to help you learn more about bootloaders and the booting process. After all, booting is the most important thing your computer does -- without the boot process, you would not have an operating system to use!

USEFUL

SGD is often useful. Here there are some examples:

   * GNU/Linux is installed in your pc, you reinstall Windows and GNU/Linux no longer boots as Grub menu no longer appears on boot. You can restore Grub on your MBR automatically.
   * You have Windows installed in a second hard disk and it does not want to boot. If you swap it from Super Grub Disk you will be able to boot it.
   * You can not boot Windows because your MBR is corrupt or Grub installation is not well done or whatever. With Super Grub Disk you will be able to boot the partition where Windows reside.
   * No Active Partition Found message appears. With Super Grub Disk you can activate partitions.


EASY

You won't need to memorize any more commands. Fix Boot of Linux (GRUB) in only three steps.

IT HELPS YOU
