Serghei Leonenco

I'm trying to fix my computer. Boot-repair does not help me.

fdisk -l

does not show my SSD, only Windows SSD; But i can access it with live usb. My Grub folder on Kubuntu SSD for some reason is empty.

Please help me repair my grab. Here is the dump from boot-reapir: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7ZdFFG8XbC/

============================== Boot Info Summary ===============================

 => No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/nvme0n1.
 => Grub2 (v2.00) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of 
    the same hard drive for core.img. core.img is at this location and looks 
    for (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub. It also embeds following components:

It's called "Grub" not "Grab" - I fixed it. Will help the gurus ;-) But I guess you've installed grub (which is the bootloader) on the wrong SSD. It should be on your "windows SSD" and **not** anywhere else (aka the harddisk where your uefi thinks it should boot)

@kanehekili Ok, i will explain. I have MSD on my laptop with Windows 10. I connect SSD with Kubuntu 20.04. Right now i was able to repair the GRUB on Kubuntu from live , but still it does not want to go to boot, still have the same grub> screen. Can you help me with this?

No, I don't understand your problem. If you can execute fdisk -l, where are you? I do not know what a MSD is. I do not understand what "I connect SSD with Kubuntu" means. Please explain in your question **NOT** in the comments

Your Ubuntu UEFI boot entry, grub.cfg wants to boot from this UUID which does not exist in report. 9b14d5b4-2b05-4163-ac02-b297457779b4. Did you delete an install, or not have a drive with install plugged in when you ran report? Only Kubuntu is in FAT32 which must be a live installer.

Important, You must have same distributive version live usb as the system you perform to reinstall grub (20.04--20.04; 22.04--22.04). They can not work vice versa and you may not get desired result.

Ok, i did re-installed grub finally. The way how i did was: Make sure you are administrator:

sudo -i

First locate your sdX by: fdisk -l. If it look like this let's go:

Device       Start        End    Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1     2048    1230847    1228800   600M EFI System
/dev/sda2  1230848    7522303    6291456     3G Linux swap
/dev/sda3  7522304 1953523711 1946001408 927.9G Linux filesystem

Let's mount our SSD:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

As you can see, my EFI system is located of of the main Linux filesystem, so if you will try to do this:

grud-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ /dev/sda

Will result to that boot will be installed but efi will get this error NO EFI found.

To escape this mount efi to the boot location:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi

Now we can do this:

grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --efi-directory=/mnt/boot/efi /dev/sda

After this manipulation you should have a grub re-installed on your SSD and you can try to boot from it.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
