What mount point should I use?

Question

I just installed Ubuntu twice and I get a GRUB Error.

I think it's because of the mount point. Since I put it at the root of the HDD. Where do I put it?

Is it / or /boot? Or am I completely wrong?

Solution

Your boot loader will install on /boot partition. For mount point you must use /. Plus if you only have one partition, then it has to be root /.

/ The root (/) partition stores the core system files and remain relatively fixed. Being separate from everything else should give it extra security.

What GRUB error are you getting? Take a look at this post that may be useful: askubuntu.com/questions/88384/…

Attempt to read or write outside of (hd0) Grub Rescue> Or something like that

Also I don't have windows on the computer

Did you make a "/boot" and a "/" root partitions or just the "/boot" ?

[Tyler Brown]

No i made just the "/" thinking it was just an error.

@TylerBrown Have you tried with the methods mentioned in the link that I give you? Also, see this post, I think that you have exactly the same problem, isn't?
