    Comments about BootIt Bare Metal as an Alternative to Grub Customizer
     
    Guest

    It runs its own operating system directly from the boot partition where it is installed, therefore not needing either Windows or Linux to load before you can configure everything. It also means it can fix itself, without loading an OS, if anything goes wrong. And if the boot partition itself gets messed up, it can automatically fix itself from the original installation pendrive.
