I installed the BURG bootloader today in order to give my boot up screen some style. However, when I choose Ubuntu from the list it freezes on a screen with a bunch of code. Thankfully, I am still able to boot up Windows 7.

In my situation, how can I remove BURG and switch back to GRUB? I have a live Ubuntu USB stick, could I boot into that, purge BURG, and install GRUB again?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Dual-boot Windows 7 HP

I'm using boot-repair and have come to the part where it says to run "sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux" when I run it it says "Unable to locate package linux" Please help! I must get this boot issue fixed! – M_W Oct 24 '14 at 20:50

If you have a USB drive that doesn't have any important data, I would recommend booting from an Ubuntu live system and reinstalling GRUB to your drive from there.

Watch this video. to find out how to do that.

It's a bit old but it is still for GRUB 2 so it should still work. I haven't tried it though, sorry.
