-As with any Linux operating system, the GRUB ('''GR'''and '''U'''nified '''B'''ootloader) is responsible for booting up Manjaro. If for any reason your GRUB is not working --perhaps due to being corrupted, mis-configured, or even deleted-- then it may not be necessary to reinstall Manjaro. '''The GRUB can instead be fully repaired and restored, retaining your installed Manjaro system'''. To undertake this task, you will need to use your Manjaro installation media, such as, a CD/DVD or USB Flashdrive.
+In order to boot Manjaro, a Linux-capable boot loader such as GRUB, rEFInd or Syslinux needs to be installed to the Master Boot Record (MBR) or the GUID Partition Table (GPT) of the media containing the Operating System. The boot loader used on official Manjaro installations and generaly suggested is GRUB. Sometimes the MBR or GPT gets corrupted, erased or misconfigured for various reasons resulting to a black screen with a failure message during boot, like '''No boot loaders found in /dev/...'''. Fortunatelly, there is a way to restore GRUB without re-installing your OS or losing your data. For this, you will need to use your Manjaro installation media, such as, a CD/DVD or USB Flashdrive.
