Use BURG instead Grub2

• Add the BURG PPA:-

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bean123ch/burg

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install burg burg-themes

• Install BURG to your Master Boot Record
• Install burg to your MBR using the command below. Substitute ‘hd0’ with an alternative drive if needed.
  

sudo burg-install “(hd0)”

or

sudo burg-install “(sda)”

• Update BURG entries
• You MUST run this step or you may be left scratching your head upon reboot when nothing shows up
  

sudo update-burg

• reboot and when you see the default BURG screen press the ‘t’ button on your keyboard.
