Refind Boot Manager Setup and Configuration

 

Refind is a boot manager that automatically detects and runs EFI and BIOS bootloaders. The graphical interface can be easily adjusted by the user. The internal disk automatically detects operating systems on external disks and optical discs.

When you think that you have partitioned your system with gparted live or similar partitioning tool as you like, you can install windows and linux systems. Most problem we encounter is not seeing windows or linux distributions that you installed at the first startup of the computer. Or the opening of the systems you install in the opening problems are not installed.

The beauty of the refind opening manager is that it does the job of successfully seeing the systems that cannot be done by grub, lilo or windows boot managers.

After installing Refindi linux, you can install the system without rebooting or from a live USB. From Windows boot manager

You will no longer need any other boot manager after the computer first lets you view the refind. And you won't say my system won't open. Because if you succeed in installing a system that works, refind will find it in the boot.

If you are an Ubuntu user, just use the following commands for refind.

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa: rodsmith / refind

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install refind

For the refind to be installed automatically, we say yes to the command below.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure refind

the command we will give to make refind the priority after the installation process is completed

sudo refind-mkdefault

open command line as cmd administrator to do this operation in windows environment

and enter the following command

bcdedit / set {bootmgr} path \ EFI \ refind \ refind_x64.efi

You can download the current refind files from the address below.
