I've used Rescatux alot since it came out and it has never failed to impress me by putting things to right in triple, quad or in hard drives with an even higher number of installations after Grub updates, kernel change or my mistakes caused Windows or one Linux or another to seize up. It will straighten out Windows in MBR or UEFI, MS-DOS or GPT regardless and simply gets things booting again.
Another thing Rescatux can do that I discovered a few years ago when I was running a dozen Linux and two Windows installs; Some Linux distros have a nice colored boot menu that has a nice font and a higher screen resolution while others are butt-ugly with an oversized white font on a BSOD. While making repairs with Rescatux you can pick the Linux operating system that presents the nicest boot menu, regardless of its place in the sequence of installs, to be the startup boot menu - providing that the os-probe of the Linux distro you've chosen recognizes each of the bootable partitions. Some do (PCLOS, Siduction, MX, Parrot, Manjaro) while others do not (Bodhi, eLive, VOID and almost all Arch-based distros like EndeavourOS, CachyOS, etc. as their os-probe are turned off.
I can't imagine why any multibooter whose heard of Rescatux doesn't have it in their toolkit. Some may use SuperGrub 2 and it will straighten out simple Windows/Debian-based Linux conflicts but IMO Rescatux is a far better utility that can do far more boot-related repairs that cover virtually every Linux type. Don't leave home without it!

This Distro contains everything you need to get a maschine booted. Also tools for Win maschines like password reset. Unfortunately the grup installer did not work for me because the Acer One Switch 10 is somehow hardware blocked and only Win install is possible. I wish I had found this earlier so my dualboot systems would have worked better. What I also like is that you get an explanation for every script so you dont just push a button but learn something and get the knowledge about what you are doing. Very good tools it feels like a swiss pocket knife.

Excellent tool. I have already managed to recover Windows MBR on several occasions, I have restored Grub and I have also successfully used Check and fix filesystems. Very useful in times of need. Congratulations to the developers.

Truly great and very useful tool. Windows 10 B0rked my dual boot windows 10/manjaro grub. I downloaded this tool, created a bootable usb flash drive, and with the click of one button it re-installed grub and saved the entire dual boot system that was previously working great. If you have problems with any kind of booting or similar issues give this a try----you won't be disappointed and it will save you considerable time. I have had to use it twice in the last week and it saved me from having to research how to fix the problem each time. Great Product!
