Bug Description
This morning I reboot my NUC (gpt + bios fat32 + ext2 boot + lvm root) and it failed to boot. I guess fat32 bios partition got corrupted (I got some magic numbres .. superblock errors when I tried to mount it). So I came to your software. But it didnt worked:
1st It didnt recognize my boot bios partitions. I guess they lost correct partition flags.
2nd Using boot-repair disk on Ubuntu 14.04 didn't purge all grub packages and get stuck with message "grub still present".
After running terminal command to get rid of grub, no errors where displayed but repair didnt proceed.
I had to manually purge "grub-common:i386" package and its dependencies, then all whent ok. I guess this was installed sometime by Multisystem live usb (http://
Here is my report after completion: http://
This askubuntu post got me to the solution (http://
I wanted to leave here my experience becaus it took me a few hours until I managed to boot my system ....
Of course, I couldnt do it without your software, so thank you very much.

Thanks for your report. Will be fixed (grub-common:i386 added to the purge command) in next version (4ppa27).
Concerning boot bios, if you can reproduce the bug, please create another report (with your new Boot-Info URL) and explain why you think the partition has not been recognized.
