I have been asking GRUB RESCUE everytime I restart my system, So I finally go to know from a previous thread that :A small partition has to be created on the disk and marked as a code EF02 "BIOS boot partition".

Please tell me how to create this partition.

I tried sudo grub-install /dev/sda3 the error is as follows:

Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

and I also tried sudo grub-install /dev/sda i get this error:

Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible. grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

please help

Thank you
