How To Reinstall Kali Linux Boot Loader After Installing Windows 7 And/or Windows 8 (Using EasybootCD)

Posted by Josiah Ohaeri on March 20, 2014 at 7:15 AM

If you are facing issues dual booting your windows7/8 and Linux operating system the tips below might help. It worked for me. I reinstalled my windows 7 but had problem load into kali Linux

 

1. Download easybootCD from their home page at http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ or go to this link http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/EasyBCD-Download-45820.html

The software is free. It’s about 1.6mb (EasyBCD 2.2).

2. Install and run the software


3. Click on “Add New Entry


4. Select “Linux/BSD

In the first option “Type” select Grub2

5. The second field, type in the name you want to give your loader. The default is “NeoSmart Linux

6. In the “Drive” option, click on the drop down list to display the partitions.

Select the partition that has your Kali Linux system (IF YOU ARE SURE OF THE PARTITION). In my case , its “Partition 4 (Linux – 29GiB)”


A better alternative is select “Automatically locate and load” option to let the program locate and load your boot file for you.


 

You can follow this steps to reinstall boot loader for windows and mac operating system.

Hope it worked for you!!!!!!!
