Debian Jessie grub reinstall
I had a Debian Jessie installation on my laptop. I tried to boot live from USB a Kali linux distro and I lost grub.
I have a very important project on this drive. I tried to reinstall grub but failed. Can anyone tell me a way to either reinstall grub correctly or just get the two files from the disk and then format it?
My (non-root) user is password protected, will this cause any problems? Of course I remember the password
