This tool already exists: Run a live-DVD of Linux Mint and use "Boot Repair" in the Administration menu. |

Dual-booting with Windows often results in GRUB being overwritten during updates, and a misconfigured GRUB in /etc prevents generating a new grub.cfg, as update-grub will fail with errors.
Solution: Include a Restore GRUB tool in the Linux Mint Live CD or as a standalone app.
Key Features:
Automatically detect and reinstall GRUB.
Fix broken configs to allow grub.cfg generation.
Provide a simple interface for one-click restoration.
This tool would streamline recovery, especially for dual-boot users and thinkerers, making Linux Mint more beginner-friendly.
