-====== Repair, Restore, or Reinstall Grub 2 with Live USB ======
-Grub 2 typically gets overridden when you install Windows or another Operating System. To make Linux control the boot process, you need Reinstall (Repair/Restore) Grub using a Live CD.
-Create a live USB and boot system from USB
-Mount the partition your broken Linux installation is on. If you are not sure which it is, launch GParted (included in the Live CD) and find out. It is usually a EXT4 Partition. Replace the XY with the drive letter, and partition number, for example: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt.
-<code>
-# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
-</code>
-Now bind the directories that grub needs access to to detect other operating systems, like so.
-<code>
-# mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
-# mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
-# mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
-# mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
-</code>
-Now we jump into that using chroot.
-<code>
-# chroot /mnt
-</code>
-Now install, check, and update grub. This time you only need to add the drive letter (usually a) to replace X, for example: grub-install /dev/sda, grub-install –recheck /dev/sda.
-<code>
-# grub-install /dev/sdX
-# grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX
-</code>
-Now grub is back, all that is left is to exit the chrooted system and unmount everything:
-<code>
-# exit
-# umount /mnt/sys
-# umount /mnt/proc
-# umount /mnt/dev/pt
-# umount /mnt/dev
-# umount /mnt
-</code>
-Shut down and turn your computer back on, and you will be met with the default Grub2 screen.
