Creating a Bootable Boot-Repair Disk
To use Boot-Repair from a 64-bit ISO, you’ll first need to create a bootable medium. Here’s how:
Download the 64-bit Boot-Repair Disk ISO file from a reliable source.
Choose your preferred method to create a bootable medium:
Burn the ISO to a DVD using disk burning software
Create a bootable USB drive using tools like Rufus or UNetbootin
It’s important to note that some users have reported issues when burning the ISO to a DVD with Windows 8, so using a USB drive might be a safer option.
Booting from the Boot-Repair Disk
Once you have your bootable Boot-Repair medium ready, follow these steps:
Insert the DVD or USB drive into your computer.
Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, or Del during startup).
Change the boot order to prioritize your Boot-Repair medium.
Save changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.
Your computer should now boot from the Boot-Repair disk.
Running Boot-Repair
After successfully booting from the Boot-Repair disk:
Select your preferred language and connect to the internet if possible.
Choose the “Recommended repair” option for most cases.
If needed, explore the advanced options on the left side of the interface for more specific repairs.
Allow Boot-Repair to complete its process.
Once finished, reboot your computer.
Post-Repair Steps
After running Boot-Repair:
Enter your BIOS/UEFI settings again.
Set your hard drive as the first boot option.
Save changes and exit.
Your computer should now boot normally, with GRUB displaying all available operating systems.
If you encounter any issues or the problem persists, consider seeking help from online forums or professional technical support.
