Another update:
I also had a look at the boot loader config with Mandriva One.
First I looked at the partitons and figured out that none had a mount point,
so I set them each to /mnt/*
Then configurating boot up:
This happened: "No boot loader installed", do you want to configure one?"
Then with Grub I get the following error:
"installation of Bootloader failed
Fatal: Trying to map files unamed device 0 x 000f (NTFS/RAID) maybe off?).
Grub just says: "installation of Bootloader failed Checksum error" 5 times
in a row".
