Clearly, that option doesn't accurately describe exactly what it will do. Good post! I've seen many, many people in the Mint forums who made same choice from the installer and ended up wiping out everything too. Tasks such as moving your OS to a new HDD, upgrading to a SSD, any time you may need to replace or install a new piece of hardware, making registry changes in Windows or making sure you don't have to re-install every program and make every tweak or change in Linux or other OS, again these programs will save your ass! There is a plethora of free imaging programs available for download, some are even cross platform, I use Macrium Reflect free for Windows, If anyone does not own, or has not made recovery disks for their Payware OS, whether via the program that ships with your Machine or via a third party option, it "is" a very good idea to so so, installing Linux as with any duel booting scenario may leave you with a broken system. You can either download an ISO to create a Boot Repair LiveCD or download Boot Repair and run it from a Linux Lite or Ubuntu Live CD. Boot Repair has saved MY skin MORE than once.įOR UEFI installs, follow these instructions in post #24 at this URL: There is a utility called Boot Repair that can fix most GRUB errors without a reinstall.
The FIRST thing I always do before changing ANYTHING is to use Redo Backup to make a backup copy of the entire drive.įor future reference, is GRUB pukes on you, you MAY not HAVE to reinstall Linux Lite. I know I'm closing the barn door after the horse has run away, but I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way that the best choice is ALWAYS 4 (Something Else).
