Help with Grub - internal & external HDD
by ruddyrum from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X79P)
Hi,
Currently I need my external HDD to be plugged in to load GRUB which is kinda annoying
Setup:
SDD: windows
HDD: Storage
Ext HDD Linux OS
So what I want to achieve is that when my external HDD is plugged in, it boots into Linux. When it is not, it boots into windows.
Grub by default installs to dev/sdc which is the 3rd HDD (external), so I thought if could install Grub to sda i'd be onto a winner... is it a simple case of just re-installing grub to sda?
I dont really want to install it without confirmation as I'd rather not mess up my windows partition
