I just installed Ubuntu twice and I get a GRUB Error.

I think it's because of the mount point. Since I put it at the root of the HDD. Where do I put it?

Is it / or /boot? Or am I completely wrong?

  • Did you make a "/boot" and a "/" root partitions or just the "/boot" ?

Your boot loader will install on /boot partition. For mount point you must use /. Plus if you only have one partition, then it has to be root /.

/ The root (/) partition stores the core system files and remain relatively fixed. Being separate from everything else should give it extra security.
