Grub Installation
Hello there,
I want to set up grub for a dual boot system of xp and vista. The thing is that I have vista installed and would have to install it ance again after setting up XP in order to use the microsoft bootloader. And secondly I slowly want to get into linux...
This is how I tried it:
I have four partitions on my HD and want to install the Bootloader on /dev/sda3. I started up the ubuntu live cd, mounted partition3, opened the console and tried this command line which I found in a tutorial
grub-install --root-directory=/media/hda3 --recheck /dev/hda
However I get the following error message:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/media/hda3/boot': No such file or directory
Please go slow on me. I a complete linux newby
Thanks for any help

Are you trying to use GRUB Bootloader without installing any Linux distro?
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
