Grub Question (Solved)
I have Mint 11 on sda and crunchbang on sdb. If I format sdb and run sudo update-grub, will my system boot? Or will I get error code 22 again?

Re: Grub Question
You don't specify which OS is controlling your boot. Is it Mint or Crunchbang? If it is sdb then formatting it will indeed make it so that you cannot boot Mint. If that's the case, before formatting sdb, boot into Mint on sda, open a Terminal, and type:
That will put Mint in control of the bootloader and you can format sdb without ill effect.
Code: Select all
sudo grub-install /dev/sdaMint Cinnamon 20.1
