Super Grub Disk delivers easy boot record recovery

Super Grub Disk (SGD) is a specialty rescue CD for emergency repairs on boot sectors. Despite its name, SGD not only manipulates the Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB), but also works with the content of other master boot records as well. Available in English, French, and Castillian Spanish, SGD also works with a variety of operating systems and supports all the basic options needed to manipulate how a hard drive boots.

Rather than its functionality, SGD's name apparently comes from the fact that its interface consists of several hierarchies of GRUB menus. But instead of the partitions and kernels that you are used to seeing in an installed system, the menu items are recovery options. The result is a highly serviceable interface within a text-based environment that requires almost no input from users other than the selection of an option. Both basic and advanced menus are available, the main difference being that the advanced menus give you the option of more input into the available actions. Both menu interfaces gives you the option to go back to a previous menu at the top of each list of items.

The top level menu summarizes the software's functionality. SGD offers full support for GRUB, and LILO support is currently in beta. The CD is designed with GNU/Linux and Windows in mind, but also supports HURD and OpenSolaris in its Special menu. Both GRUB and LILO can be reinstalled in the master boot record or on another partition, or alternatively, uninstalled, while GRUB can usually be booted using the existing configuration on the hard drive -- although not, currently, if the /boot directory is on its own partition.

I suppose your category choice is better though. Installation and Bootloaders . . . what a concept. Smile
