StudioFun! Recover 

Where there is a MBR (Master Boot record) corruption, the “StudioFun Recover” will 
automatically probe the hard disk master boot record and find out the installed operating 
system(s). Once success, it will re-install the boot loader with correct options in the MBR. 
Please be noted that the newly probed one will over write any custom boot loader option 
specified from other GNU/Linux installations.

 

 

Booting to StudioFun! 

After the Installation, remove the CD from the CD-ROM and restart the system. After the 
rebooting, you will get the “GRUB boot loader menu screen”. Select the StudioFun! Option 
to boot to the StudioFun! Partition. 

 

 

 

After executing the boot up, you will see the main Desktop screen. The following section is 

a complete description of the Desktop application.
