March 13, 2019

Have you faced this error while booting phoenix OS?

“Minimal BASH like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions

GRUB> “

I faced this error after updating my Windows 10. This is a grub error which is caused when there is a problem with Phoenix OS boot on the Bootloader.

I spent 3-4 days finding the solution of the error, and surprisingly none of the methods worked for me. And then finally found a method which was working.

Note that for some this method will work for others it won’t so I have tried to list all the possible methods which worked for different people.
