boot loader installed to wrong location [SOLVED]

[davethewave]

Is there a way to somehow to load the Mint OS? (Mint is on /dev/sda3) by editing grub4dos menu or the windows boot loader?

I installed Linux mint 19 mate from a SDcard (/dev/mmcblk0p1) and in the installer, I picked /dev/sda as the boot loader since i already have Windows there and / (root) as /dev/sda3. The installer installed the boot loader to mmcblk0 though so I can only boot into the Mint OS with the SDcard inserted, which means I can't ever format the SDcard and use it for other things or remove it if I want to boot to Mint

my windows setup is a little weird though so maybe that's why. I have a normal windows 7 boot with the option to load a grub4dos boot to load a 9Gb windows.vhd into RAM. Maybe it got confused somehow by my boot menu.

if linux can be manually entered into grub4dos or windows boot menu please let me know how

Add the next lines to the grub4dos's menu.lst file.

Code: Select all

title find and load Grub2
find --set-root /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
boot

title find and load Grub2 older version
find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img
kernel /boot/grub/core.img
