GRUB reinstall error

[sayan1987]

Hi,

I was trying to reinstall grub in JULIA after installing windows which rewritten the bootloader with its own, I followed this: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/245.

But whenever I am trying to install it, I am getting this error:
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev mounted?).

I have /boot installed in a separate partition which is /dev/sda6 and / partition in /dev/sda1.

Here is the output of fdisk -l:

Code: Select all

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders

/dev/sda7           30699       31197     3998720   82  Linux swap / Solaris

I tried to mount /dev/sda6 in /mnt and executed this command:

Code: Select all

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

which resulted that error, kindly help.
How to resolve this? Where I went wrong?
