    # Update Jul 2022

    **I dont use Manjaro distribution any more, the above step may been deprecated.**

    A solution posted in the [comments](https://gist.github.com/dianjuar/a6e0d801a9f71f8edc06321178390320?permalink_comment_id=3498384#gistcomment-3498384) that is receiving lots of positive feedback made by @y6nH seems to be the right steps to fix it:

    > These are the steps that worked for me, without having to install any new packages:
    >
    > - Boot into Manjaro installer
    > - Open terminal
    > - `sudo manjaro-chroot -a` (and select system to mount)
    > - `grub-install /dev/sda` (it's sda for me; make sure you choose the right drive!)
    > - `grub-install --recheck /dev/sda`
    > - `update-grub`
    > - `exit`
    > - reboot

    # Restore the GRUB Bootloader on Manjaro

    1. Chroot into your linux instalation
    1. The easiest way is with `mhwd-chroot`
    1. Install it `yaourt -S mhwd-chroot`
    2. Run it `sudo mhwd-chroot`
    3. **DONE**, you have chrooted into your linux installation _(open a root console of your installed linux OS, is like just open a console with root access)_
    2. Restore your GRUB
    1. Install a new GRUB bootloader with `grub-install /dev/sda`
    2. Recheck to ensure the that installation has completed without any errors `grub-install --recheck /dev/sda`
    3. Finally, configure the freshly installed GRUB bootloader typing `update-grub`
