Hello /g/,
I'm currently playing around with a live Debian USB drive and I've noticed that I still have an old Debian partition on my HDD which I've lost access to because I did a clean Windows install a few months ago.
Is there an easy way for me to restore dual-boot, e.g. install grub without much of a hassle?
>inb4 not your personal tech support
Try to chroot into the Debian partition from a live USB (you have to use a LiveUSB with the same system architecture as the one on the HDD, so check before whether it is 32 or 64-bit) and then just install grub as usual

O boi you could but you'll have to read a lot.
Grab a live linux usb.
Boot it.
Read how to remove GRUB from your comp through chroot
Download Syslinux in Chroot and install it properly
>Why Syslinux?
The configuration file is easy af.
Just uncomment everything you want as a bootoption. Grub Configuration was a pain in the arse for me
Then just save and reboot. Youll have your options again.
As an alternative try installing a new Grub through Chroot but i cant promise that it'll give you all options
Bump. I have to install Windows 8.1 next to my Debian partition and I want to know how to recover all my data as well.
Boot to a live Linux distro on a USB and get GRUB Customizer
>download supergrub and burn it to a CD/write it to an usb stick
>boot supergrub, use it to run your debian install
>use grub-install to reinstall grub

Exactly what I would do. Seems the most painless way. Super grub is handy anytime bootloader gets fucked since it basically builds it's own for you at boot.
