I'm in the process of reinstalling Ubuntu overwriting the previous OS because it wouldn't boot after updates. I'm doing it using a USB stick. Half way through the install it shows a message with the following error: It's not possible to install GRUB at /dev/sdb
; grub-install/dev/sdb failed
.
This is a fatal error. I think its trying to install it onto the USB stick (sdb)? I then have the option to chose another device to install the bootloader to /dev/sda
ATA ST320LTO12-9WS14(320.1GB) or to /dev/sda1
. There is also an option to continue without installing the bootloader or to cancel the installation. This is my first experience with Linux and Ubuntu!
This is a link to first question I asked to try to solve the first problem with Ubuntu not booting properly but that got to a dead end! Ubuntu not booting properly it has all the steps I took to get to this point. Thanks.
