Hello everyone,
Debian 12 does not install GRUB on a RAID 1 array of my computer: I don't know
if this problem is caused by a hardware failure or by my inexperience so I ask

I would like to move from old 320GB HDD to a new 1TB HDD. I have the
following partition structure:
sda1 - XP
sda2 - Debian 7 x86_64 (boot partition)
sda3 - swap
The GRUB is on the sda2 partition not in the MBR. That's why sda2 is
the boot partition. If I set sda1 as boot partition XP run

That path ("usr/sbin/update-grub") is relative to the current directory of

I hope this message doesn't seem pugnacious. It isn't intended
to be. But your response seems to me to contain some factual

I forgot one more layer of format: OS install.
