The boot repair disc I have used, and it is close to miraculous IMHO is
http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/

I note it seems to use an Ubuntu Font, but I do not know if it uses 
Ubuntu in fact.
I have used it for Windows and Ubuntu, including in I think fairly 
complex multiboot  PCs. I have only needed to use the basic offerings, 
however if they are anything to go by the other stuff must be good. 
The author posts too, I think, in Ubuntu forums. Development ongoing.


I recommend at least a try. Keep it around.

Sorry - just assumed you all knew about it.  I got this: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/


This is the 12.04 that includes boot-repair and there is also a smaller 
iso that is a standalone boot-repair.

[ubuntu-uk] boot-repair utility ...

2012-05-16 Thread Barry Drake
I've just discovered boot-repair.  I seems to be available on a 
stand-alone iso and on a customised Ubuntu 12.04 iso.  I've made a boot 
SD card from the 12.04 version and it looks as though it might be a 
useful way of rescuing a damaged grub2.  I just wondered if any of you 
have used it?
