correct version, and you'll probably have to specify the location of the boot directory with the --boot-directory option, e.g., grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
I hope this is helpful. Just don't mix Grub 1 and Grub 2.
Decided to press on; OK, into the live boot, and chroot... I bravely try; grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda and I get the message..."unrecognized option `--boot-directory=/mnt/boot' " A look at grub-install options says " --root-directory=DIR", so I subsitute "root" for "boot" in the above command and get; "mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/boot/boot': no such file or directory" "grub-install -v" returns grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97), doesn't look like grub2, but maybe it announces itself this way?
