Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2012 11:01 pm Post subject: Finding --target or --directory for grub2. Also dual booting |
|
|
Hey all, I am posting here in hopes you guys can help me. I am new to linux so please bear with me.
Twofold question here:
I am currently in the process of installing grub2 using "grub2-install --no-floppy /dev/sda"
This is the output:
Code: | mint linux # grub2-install --no-floppy /dev/sda
source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory |
What should my --target or --directory be? What command should I use to find it?
This is also a dual boot. Are there any suggestions for this? I was unable to find anything in the handbook.
Code: | Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 136312832 136632319 159744 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 136632320 234441647 48904664 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 1 65535 32767+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 65536 22085631 11010048 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 67584 1116159 524288 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 1118208 22085631 10483712 83 Linux |

OK, from looking through the original thread I think you're totally confused at this point and I have no idea where you are at with the installation
How far along with the install are you i.e. what chapter/part of the installation handbook did you complete
UPDATE: Never mind - I missed a couple of pages there
I'll let the original thread participants follow-up... _________________ Good luck
