I just installed Ubuntu twice and I get a GRUB Error.

I think it's because of the mount point. Since I put it at the root of the HDD. Where do I put it?

Is it / or /boot? Or am I completely wrong?

  • What GRUB error are you getting? Take a look at this post that may be useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows – Lucio Sep 14 '13 at 22:49
  • Attempt to read or write outside of (hd0) Grub Rescue> Or something like that – Tyler Brown Sep 14 '13 at 22:50
  • Also I don't have windows on the computer – Tyler Brown Sep 14 '13 at 22:50
  • Did you make a "/boot" and a "/" root partitions or just the "/boot" ? – user107425 Sep 14 '13 at 22:55
  • No i made just the "/" thinking it was just an error. – Tyler Brown Sep 14 '13 at 22:55
  • @TylerBrown Have you tried with the methods mentioned in the link that I give you? Also, see [this post](http://askubuntu.com/q/229715/62483), I think that you have exactly the same problem, isn't? – Lucio Sep 14 '13 at 23:28

Your boot loader will install on /boot partition. For mount point you must use /. Plus if you only have one partition, then it has to be root /.

/ The root (/) partition stores the core system files and remain relatively fixed. Being separate from everything else should give it extra security.
