/boot/grub is not readable by GRUB?

During mid installation of grub after completing everything else on the beginners tutorial, the error when trying to install grub using the "grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda" it appears with the error "Path '/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting." May be a noobish question or problem, but how can i make the grub installation possible?

It doens't matter where you put that little partition.
Maybe you should try syslinux instead. It is stupid simple... I love it. Grub2 is great if you need to have your boot partition on LVM2 or some other crazy crap. But honestly, I think that 90% of the features are pretty much useless for a user like myself. Though I use LVM2 on Luks on Raid-0, but I keep a separate /boot partition anyway which doubles as my EFI System Partition.
Edit: During the month or so that I used Grub2, I actually upgraded computers during that time. So I had the EF02 partition at the end of my old computer's drive and the beginning of the new one, and both worked no problem.

Bootcamp Partition Wont Mount, Boot and Is not Readable

thank you in advance to anyone who can be of support.
I have been running parallels desktop 6.0 on my macbook pro with no issues. I was using bootcamp as my virtual machine. I was also using bootcamp independently with absolutely no problems.
After upgrading to Lion, Parallels no longer worked and I used bootcamp exclusively. Finally i got fed up with having software that I paid for not work and tried to re-configure parallels to work. I erased all virtual machines and tried creating a new one from bootcamp. Parallels changed the name of my bootcamp partition to "disk0s4." Setup did not complete and now i have no parallels. Further, my bootcamp no longer works. I cannot even access the partition. It is greyed out on disk manager. I ran the recovery tool and tried repairing the partition and got the error: "disk utility cannot repair the disk.....reformat."
If anyone can tell me how to get this partition working again, it would be a miracle. However, at this point, my sole concern is somehow retrieving ONE folder that was saved on my desktop in windows that has some very very important documents that were not backed up last night. If someone can help me access those files through the mac side, I would be very appreciative.
I am running Parallels 6.0.12094. I have Mac OS X 10.7 on a MacBook Pro. Bootcamp was running 32-bit Windows 7.
I have posted this in the parallels forum as well. I figured someone on this forum would be more likely to adivse me as to whether I can somehow access files stored on the greyed out partition. thanks.
I have attached a screen shot of what disk utility states. Note it says the drive is formatted FAT (ms-dos?)

Will it run? Yes. You are making some assumptions. There is a thread over on Lion forum and cloning OS back and forth is fine.
The recovery partition is optional .
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
OS X Lion: "Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk (volume name)" appears during installation
Partition Lion + Windows
Look at coocooforcocoapuffs
Also, Paragon makes bootable clone drives for Windows (you just can't boot from it on a Mac without it being the internal drive). But that clone requires the entire drive, not just a partition. And not sure what you had in mind. Windows Easy Transfer is for data, not apps, not for Windows OS. But be that as it may.
Clone X 4 can do sector of an entire hard drive and all partitions. Or clone an HFS volume.

[solved] grub install fails /boot/grub is not readable

virtualbox install
single partition install (well, I have two partitions, #2 is / and #1 is the BIOS partition as defined in the install docs)
when I get to the stage of installing grub, I use :
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
which fails with
Path '/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting"
it is ext4
fstab looks correct. It shows one entry for
/dev/sda1 / ext4
I am not using UUID although when I did the result was the same.
when run with debug, the problem is
/usr/bin/grub-probe -t fs /boot/grub
results in path no readable.
when I run the grub-probe inside the chroot, I get error: unknown filesystem
haven't had this before. This is the first time I've tried a GPT install.

Ah, my mistake was an incorrect partition table back when I partitioned the disk. I did not make a partition table for GPT partitions.

'/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot

I'm installing Arch 64 bits from the August disc, and when I get to the part for configuring GRUB using 'grub-install /dev/sda', it just returns with the message "Path '/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting."
Partition layout
sda1 Primary NTFS 24GB
sda5 Logical swap 8GB
sda6 Logical ext4 16GB
free space about 450GB
I've also tried having a separate boot partition, making the boot primary, making my root partition primary etc, but they all produce the same result

YngveM wrote:I had the same error, however when i just waited with the grub installation until after the "arch-chroot /mnt" command it worked like a charm
This seems to describe what some users (including me) are having: The order in which to mount & do stuff:
First: Mount your root partiotion to mnt.
Second: Create all other directories for partiotion (usr, var, boot, home, whatever...)
Third: Mount other partiotions
The problem: Users often create the directories before mounting anything (which cannot work, of course). When using pacstrap it will then create usr, var, etc. and assume they should be on root. My test if I did it right was: After running genfstab check that your fstab is filled with all expected entries. If that worked, your problem should not occur anymore.

Edit: Another indication might be that arch-chroot dies with something that says it can't chroot because it can't find /bin/bash or similar shells.

[SOLVED]Unable to install grub "couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst"

Ok so I was trying to install windows after I had arch installed, used an ubuntu cd to use gparted to create a partition, tried to go to the windows installation but it would endlessly send me back to restart the installation even after succesfully writting all files...
So now I decided to not install it, went back into ubuntu/gparted, deleted the partition and rejoined the space with my main arch partition and then selected the "boot" flag to boot...
Cannot boot, grub its still on /boot/ but the MBR its obviously tempered with by windows ( which coincidentally couldn't even find itself after writing mbr to its liking....*sigh* ).
So I try to use my arch install cd to reinstall grub but i get this:
"couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst is grub installed?"
I tried to use the select packages thing to make sure the cd is mounted and mounts fine but it keeps getting me that error message. I managed to boot to my system just fine with arch root=/dev/sda1 but obviosly the kernell does not has my nvidia module which means I can't get into x which means i am using links and since my grub is not loaded i can't even get framebuffer so this is rather inconvenient.
Im sure im missing a very simple and stupid thing but im so annoyed my brain must be saying "ok im done somebody else figure it out". I still have a backup copy of my grub menu.lst I made before. Do I just delete /bood/grub/ and try again? Am I missing something on the install procedure to be able to rewrite grub? Can I just do it from the command line or with pacman? Any help appreciate it thanks.

If you can get into your arch and cli then you should just be able to reinstall grub with
install-grub /dev/sda
or reinstall grub with
pacman -S grub
if the package is messed up or missing.

Since automating it would make it virtually impossible to maintain a manually configured grub.cfg, I disagree. Arch does not do that stuff automatically. Even for those who do not hand edit the config file, it is likely to break things if people have more complex setups. (For example, in some cases, grub will not find an OS unless the partition is mounted and it might not be mounted.) Actually, not even Fedora does this automatically although I suspect that is considered a bug.
As for the warning, pacman does warn you. It tells you it has installed a *.pacnew file. That tells you two things: (1) you needed to customise the previous default config, and (2) the default config has changed. That copying the pacnew over your old config will break things is standard: blindly copying *any* pacnew over your old, customised file will break things. I agree that it breaks things in a bigger way in this case but the principle is exactly the same. That is not to say that I think a reminder would be out of place - other boot loaders'managers do post such messages. But being told about a pacnew or a pacsave file *is* notification from grub that user intervention is required and this is usually because somebody who knows the system and customisations made previously is required to adapt the changes to accommodate the update. i.e. it is usually because blindly overwriting stuff is very likely to break things.
It is automated! WTF?!
Not really. One can hand edit grub.cfg and the package does not interfere with that.
This is what pacman threw out at me:
warning: /etc/default/grub saved as /etc/default/grub.pacsave
warning: /boot/grub/grub.cfg saved as /boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacsave
( 1/11) upgrading cgminer [#######################################] 100%

( 3/11) installing grub [#######################################] 100%
Copying /boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacsave to /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Is this intended??
It, thankfully, didn't break anything but this isn't what should have happened. I am sure it will ruin someone's day.
I agree this is strange. I have no idea why it moves your old config to a .pacsave and then copies that .pacsave back to grub.cfg. Effectively what it does is just make a copy of your config as .pacsave but I don't know why it does that.
It is in fact quite unlikely to break anything since it is very likely that an existing grub.cfg will work with the new version of grub. Obviously people should check but if somebody doesn't it is not likely to do any harm. I am not sure what you did to break your configuration but I doubt that you copied grub.cfg.pacsave to grub.cfg.

[grub2] Missing "*.gmo" "*.mo" files in /boot/grub/locale/

Hello,
today I did a "pacman -Syu", grub was updated ( replaced by core/grub )
the update was ok, no problem,
but I notice now a quick error message during the boot process :
error: file '/boot/grub/locale/fr.gmo' not found
then the boot menu is displayed and I can boot arch linux without problem,
when I check the directory /boot/grub/locale/ I see no files, that's why I have this error message,
I use the MBR for booting grub and I have a pentium 4 laptop,
I try to reinstall grub :
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
but I still have the same error message on boot,
the wiki says that "grub.mo" file is in /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/ but I see no "grub.mo", no "fr.mo" in this directory, so I can not copy these files to /boot/grub/locale/,
so I think there is a bug in grub package, missing "*.mo" files, because before this update I never had this error message

you probably forgot to finish the installation of grub,
you must type some instructions in the console like "grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX" ( where X is the partition where grub is installed ), read the wiki :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub#Installation
Read up-thread. I didn't forget anything and there's no need to read the wiki. These were two fresh installs on two different systems using the most current arch install discs. There was no previous installation to upgrade from and I didn't forget to add the --recheck option either. My previous post stands...grub is simply looking for a file that doesn't exist. Both systems I installed on have the same modules listed:
I'd rather not hack around the problem, since it still boots normally. I'll wait for upstream to correct this bug.

External HD "Not Readable" after Boot Camp Installation

After installing Windows XP on my Mac, I switched back over to OS X and tried to access my external hard drive which greeted me with the message: "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I assume that the Boot Camp process must've affected the external drive and made it incompatible with OS X. The external does show up in Disk Utility, but there are no options to repair the disk, only erase. Can anyone tell me how to reformat the drive, without losing all of the precious data on the disk, for OS X?

XP can't see Mac OS file system.
There is your drive, and your volume_name on the left side column. You have to click on volume_name and select the tab for Repair.
Best to backup before installing or updating any OS, and leave everything you don't need disconnected.
I doubt anything changed, should not have.

[Solvd]hd0,gpt1error: file /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found

I'm trying to configure GRUB2 to load Windows 8 on UEFI system.
os-prober does not detect it.
grub-mkconfig creates only for Linux (tried both with mounted and unmounted Windows partition).
So I went for manual entry.
I executed the following
$ mount /dev/sde1 /boot/efi/
$ grub-probe --target=fs_uuid /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
69DB-D2EB
# grub-probe --target=hints_string /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
--hint-bios=hd4,gpt1 --hint-efi=hd4,gpt1 --hint-baremetal=ahci4,gpt1
Created menuentry for /boot/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry "Microsoft Windows 8" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
insmod search_fs_uuid
insmod chain
search --fs-uuid --hint-bios=hd4,gpt1 --hint-efi=hd4,gpt1 --hint-baremetal=ahci4,gpt1 69DB-D2EB
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
And when I choose it it says
hd0,gpt1error: file /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Note that EFI partition is not mounted is fstab (does it make a difference for GRUB?).
Also, specifying
chainloader /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
Gives the same not found.
P.S. Windows "fast start" is disabled

[SOLVED][unprofessional] Selected boot image didi not Authentificate

Hi I try to install Arch on HP-Envy 15
a 64 bi machine
with uefi
and ran in many bootloaderproblems "Selected boot image didi not Authentificate"
this is what i did:
gdisk /dev/sda
gdisk /dev/sda
p
something like
sda1 300 G linux filesystem
sda2 10G swap
sda128 470 Mib EF00
w
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mkswap /dev/sda2
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda128
partitions were mounted like the beginners guide tells
pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
I did some of the local settings
made hostname...
Ok but the problem will come here i think
pacman -S dosfstools efibootmgr grub
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
mkdir /boot/EFI/boot
cp /boot/EFI/arch_grub/grubx64.efi /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
after exit reboot i run into the error i told.
the comuper might recognize anything because if nothin is on the harddrive it says something diffrent.
Can anyone help me to install?
is anything better than grub?
did i do something wrong?
ps. installing from archiso ran into errors too

HP Laserjet P1102w by USB "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer"

My HP Laserjet P1102w used to work fine with OS X10.10. Then it started saying "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer" whenever I switched it on, but the printer still worked. This morning it didn't. I uninstalled the printer, but can't re-install it - it isn't listed when I click "+". I have tried a different USB cable, and a different USB port - same message. The HP website does not provide a downloadable driver, as far as I can see. What do I do? (The wireless connection to the printer stopped working ages ago. The printer still works with our two PCs via USB.)

Hi Shapley,
Repairing the disk permissions can be done as following:
1. Open the the Applications folder.
2. Go to the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
Next reboot your Mac and try plugging the USB again.
If the same persist, a such may also happen due to a conflict with the HP Smart Install feature which is Windows Based only and being wrongly read by the Mac, in order to resolve a such a Windows based PC will be required. any laptop should meet the purpose, the printer will be installed automatically by connecting the USB.
Next update and install the latest firmware below:

External Hard Drive - "The disk you inserted was not readable"

Yesterday I bought a Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB external hard drive and I ran disk utility and had it erased and formatted for my iMac. Then I put all my video files and movies on there to free up some space on my main computer hard drive. The FreeAgent external hard drive showed up on my desktop right under the main hard drive and it was working fine.
Today I downloaded and installed Boot Camp and then installed Windows XP Home Edition. After I was done, I went back to OS X and now there's no icon for the FreeAgend external hard drive on my desktop and instead a windows pops up saying "Disk Insertion-- The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" and my only options are "Disk Utility", "Eject", and "Ignore".
So I can't access my external hard drive now but I don't want to do the "erase" option on Disk Utility to reformat it since I have all my video files on there now.
I don't know what to do-- please help!!
