BURG fails to start after I boot into Windows

This happens mostly to Dell machines. The root cause of this issue is that some program writes information at the beginning of disk, which overwrites part of the multi-sector BURG MBR. The solution is to use alternative install mode that uses only one sector MBR which is guaranteed to be safe.

You can boot into rescue CD, open a rescue shell on the original root device, and use something like this to install BURG to MBR:

burg-install --alt /dev/sda

The option --alt indicates alternative install mode.

BURG works, but it hangs when I try to boot Linux

This could be caused by the protected mode Linux loader, you can try the old real mode loader linux16/initrd16. Boot into rescue shell, add this settings to /etc/default/burg:

GRUB_LINUX16=true

Then use update-burg to generate a new burg.cfg.

My issue is not listed here, where do I ask for help

You can post a thread at the BURG forum:
