Hello.
A friend of mine tried this tool. He had a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Linux Mint Cinnemon.
He installed it in his Linux Mint installation and that worked. But he found that it worked too slow and decided to uninstall/remove it.
Unfortunately I don't know how he removed or uninstalled it.
However after the removal, the dual boot did not work anymore. He could only boot into Linux from that moment on.
We tried boot-repair which did not want to work because it said grub.cfg was still present.
Also the scanos tool did not find any windows installations.
We also tried to repair the Windows bootmanager by using the Windows boot CD/USB stick, using the repair option and then choosing for "startup-repair" which did not work either.
After that we tried manually, again Windows boot cd, then repair, command prompt and these commands:
bootrec /fixmbr <-- completed successfully
bootrec /fixboot <-- completed successfully
bootrec /scanos <-- no windows installation found
bootrec /rebuildbcd <-- completed successfully, 0 windows installations repaired.
When booting from Windows installation CD and using prompt, we can still see the Windows installation, also the Windows partition is still present.
But reparing the Windows boot manager from windows seems no option, from Linux it looks like Linux is not seeing any Windows installation either for some reason.
Maybe we forgot something.
Secure boot is off and keys gone, otherwise repair-boot would not work to begin with.
Any clue if this is repairable or are we looking at a complet Windows re-installation?
At this moment, the system still boots into Linux. Or into Grub itself.
