I want to install a linux distribution on my computer. I have a SSD and an HDD. The SSD has Windows 8.1 and I partitioned 200 gigs from my 1 TB HDD to install linux. The linux installation was going smoothly until it reached the step where it needed to install Grub. I encountered the error "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda"
The Linux partition is in the drive /dev/sdb and my Windows is on /dev/sda. I read online that since I'm putting linux on a seperate drive from my Windows that I need to install Grub on the MBR which means that I need to install Grub in /dev/sda, right?
Also, I want to mention that fast boot and secure boot are disabled.
I need some advice, I've been working on this for hours!
GRUB does not need to be on /dev/sda. You might want to add the information from the comments on Mario's answer to your question so all of the diagnostic information is in your question. – fixer1234 – 2015-02-07T18:39:05.197
