Hi there, Very new to Reborn OS. Even though I used a couple of other distros before (Ubuntu or Debian based, long ago) I never touched an Arch-like system before. I’m impressed by the speed of operation even from a USB-stick. After trying the Live media I decided to install it on my Laptop (ASUS N751, i7 4770-HQ, 16 GB Ram, NVidia M850 GT). So I’ve got two drives, a HDD 1 TB 7200 RPM (sda, with two partitions, NTFS) and a SSD drive250 GB (sdb, two partitions for /root and /home, ext4), UEFI, Secure Boot disabled. I installed GRUB to the SSD drive. However after the installation process GRUB/Reborn won’t boot. Something like “invalid filesystem” or so is shown. Should I install GRUB to sda? Or should I try to reinstall Reborn? Will this trick from the Wiki work (with adjusted commands for sdb instead of sda)? Thank you for any insight and/or help. Ralf ---

hi, we should check in the bios, which one is the first drive. the system is booting from 2. let’s look if grub takes you to the emergency mode? Then, see what `sudo fdisk -l` gives ?` ---

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. As soon as I get back home I’ll try and see what I get. 😊 [EDIT]: Repartitioned and reinstalled Reborn and GRUB. In fact I forgot to correctly flag the boot partition. 😉 Everything’s smooth sailing now. ---
