Hi lou, Hard disk installation isn't very widely used so doesn't always get many people testing what doesn't work. Explanation *is* very necessary, so that we can fix what doesn't work. if the problem is that you made a mistake, then it is even worth writing "I did this because the documents anren't clear - that was a mistake and it resulted in XYZ happening" - then that is useful to somebody. > > I doubt GRUB would act on (hd0,partition1). > > two options count from 0 and 1 respectively, it's easy to make mistake here. > if same counting convention and better names are used, user can edit them > without reading grub manual > The internals of GRUB count differently and are subtly different: yes, that's known and we have to explain that from time to time. > Max has provided helpful info for me. for many users and me, writing iso > image to usb stick is easier than booting with grub > I agree in one sense: I always suggest writing the firmware .iso to a USB stick (using dd or Rufus in dd mode if you use Windows to write it) but it's worth your telling us how to run a hard disk install so that it works. Someone else may want to run a hard disk install in the future for reasons of their own. Thank you for your interest and your help, Andy Cater
