Boot Repair

Sometimes, such as when you install both Windows and Ubuntu on the same hard drive, boot problems can develop. Boot Repair is a simple GUI tool to fix those problems. Typically, it just reinstalls GRUB2, but using the program is a much easier solution for many users. The program is not yet in the Ubuntu repositories, although plans for including it have been discussed. In the meanwhile, should you need it, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair or the official documentation at http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair/.
