Rescatux

This feature is not yet available at the Rescapp program. It is available at the Super Grub Disk included with Rescatux. If you want to have this feature at the Rescapp program please complain at the super grub disk mailing list.

Tecnical explanation

When you fix the boot of Windows what you are doing is saving a program called syslinux in the MBR (usually from first hard disk) that chainloads automatically the first partition of this hard disk with the active flag. Windows partition is also made active (it has the flag). These all tasks make that Windows boots in the next boot.

One thing you should know

• These methods only restore Windows boot if it already booted successfully before a Linux partition. If you have restored Windows from a tar.gz without saving its partition boot sector it won't boot. You will have to use the FIXMBR and FIXBOOT from a recovery disk.

TIP

If you cannot fix Windows this way you can always try to Boot Windows and then try to recover the Windows boot from within your Windows installation.
