Running from Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit Live CD. Here is the output of the 'mount' Please note that I've got lazy here and I have both the MBR and the GPT disc connected at the same time, so the GPT disc is /dev/sdc. I note that I as usual dyslexically incorrect as I was posting ext2 when I meant ext4. /cow on / type overlayfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755) /dev/sr0 on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro,noatime) /dev/loop0 on /rofs type squashfs (ro,noatime) none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880) none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/ubuntu/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ubuntu) /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/dwer type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) /dev/sdc2 on /mnt/sdc2 type ext4 (rw) ------------------------------------------------------ /dev/sdc2 is the target for grub-install. "grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/sdc2/boot /dev/sda" Also please note that /mnt/dwer is the NTFS partition used for shared storage between all OS and that is where the log files have been saved.
