Can you do a Linux USB/CD live recovery boot and chroot to the Linux partition from the shell?

It doesn't matter what version. The possible recovery procedure is the same. I've never liked dual booting systems but I know it's a necessary thing.

Looks like there is a tool to help.

I don't run Ubuntu but I still run stock Debian on a few machines for Home Assistant and the rest run: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devuan
because I hate systemd.

No; everything was find the way i did . I had 2 HDD 1 Disq 0 win10 the other Disq 2 Linux and grub manager and DVD drive . What i found out was that i was running in the Bios HDE instead of AHCI which i corrected by reinstalling Win but this time i only kept 1 HDD with win10 for now,that is a keeper till i get issues due no support cause i have some prog that only run in Win.

 

...cause i have some prog that only run in Win.

Just FYI: I run Win10 and XP as VMs on VirtualBox under linux for just this reason.

Bonus: I can run them all at the same time, including copy/paste between them.

 

Is VMs free?

 

Is VMs free?

VirtualBox is free as in freedom (and also as in beer) except for the Extension Pack*.

There are certainly other VMs that are also free, but I don't use them so I cannot advise.

You still need a valid license for the Windows installation(s).

*Edit: The Extension Pack is free (as in beer) for personal and educational use.
