Hi,

if you´ve got boot problems, it is always important to post, whether your system boots via (U)EFI or not.

To solve your problem you may try to use the "supergrubdisk2" https://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/.

You may burn it to a cd or use rufus https://rufus.ie/ to create a live usb stick.

It´s a mini-Iso (< 20 MB!) that helps you to boot into your installed system.
It tries to detect your grub configuration. After booting into your installed system via systemgrubdisk2 you have to do as root:

Code:

grub-install && sleep 5 && sync && sleep 1

. Then reboot.

If this doesn´t work and you understand German, have a look at this:

GRUB errors are very rare these days, could happen only with very old hardware (bad BIOS) with larger HDs. Need to see these outputs from live mode:

Code:

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd?

Code:

infobash -v3
