Super Grub2 Disk 2.06s4 Released: New System Rescue Tool Adds Btrfs Support

Super Grub2 Disk 2.06s4 system rescue live ISO tool, which helps you boot into almost any operating system when it fails to boot, has been released with new features and improvements.

It’s been almost five years since the last stable Super Grub2 Disk release, but development never stopped and the new stable release is here to introduce support for the Btrfs file system, support for booting into more operating systems, such as GNU/Hurd (Debian based) and ReactOS, and support for booting into Linux systems from the /boot partition.

Super Grub2 Disk 2.06s4 also adds new operating system-specific options like EFI file on EFI partitions, FreeBSD, FreeDOS, GNU/Hurd, Linux, Mac OS X/Darwin, MS-DOS, ReactOS, Windows 98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP, as well as Windows Vista and newer Windows OS when using the “Boot manually” option.

With a new look, the new stable Super Grub2 Disk release introduces support for partition labels, updated Debian and Ubuntu Secure Boot binaries to work on updated or recent UEFI systems, refactored Unicode font file generation, and the ability to force devices to update after enabling native disk drivers.

“This is the first stable release that comes SecureBoot enabled thanks to Debian’s Grub. If the disk is not able to boot properly you might want to turn off Secure Boot and, in some special cases, use the classic versions which do not have SecureBoot at all,” said the devs.

On top of that, this release fixes the use of the unicode.pf2 file, adds the ability for searching grub.cfg files on EFI partitions, fixes quoted label on the diskpartchainboot.cfg file, and adds new language translations including Traditional Chinese, Hungarian, Japanese, and Polish.

Check out the release announcement page for more details about the changes included in the Super Grub2 Disk 2.06s4 release, which is available for download from the same page as bootable USB or CD-ROM images, standalone images, or binary and source zip files for offline use.
