Install system rescue CD for Linux on a dedicated hard disk

Hello pablo,

This is really a very necessary step every linux user should take. You can do it so many different ways. As a native linux user I use one of my flash drives for booting into linux. You are just trying to do this same thing into a disk. Ok first find out your disk using the command “df”. You will see all the disk partitions available in your machine. Now find out in which partition you want to install the grub. Just write in the terminal that grub-install /dev/(the partition name.)

Or you can do another way too. Write

sudo mkdir /media/Driver/boot

Then write:

Sudo cp –r /boot/grub  /media/Driver/boot/

The grub is copied.

Thank you,

Riley weaver
