I can't install GRUB2 in one x86_64 machine [Solved]

Hi to everyone:
This is my partitions schema:
[root@archerpc ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
224 heads, 19 sectors/track, 229504 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4256 * 512 = 2179072 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x4a7d4a7c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 52933 112640000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 52933 53394 979965 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 53394 76340 48829567+ 83 Linux
Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0dd64896
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 60801 488384001 83 Linux
This is the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file:
# Config file for GRUB2 - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# DEVICE NAME CONVERSIONS
# Linux Grub
# /dev/fd0 (fd0)
# /dev/sda (hd0)
# /dev/sdb2 (hd1,2)
# /dev/sda3 (hd0,3)
# Timeout for menu
set timeout=5
# Set default boot entry as Entry 0
set default=0
# (0) Arch Linux
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
set root=(hd0,3)
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
## (1) Windows
#menuentry "Windows" {
#set root=(hd0,3)
#chainloader +1
And when I try install the grub ... the console shows only this :
[root@archerpc ~]# grub-install /dev/sda
Someone else with the same problem ... anyone knows how to fix it?

Hi to everyone:
The solution is simple: I did turn off the floppy drive from the BIOS and I could install GRUB2 in my machine.
Thanks to Ronald van Haren for his help and patience. Until the next.

  • On how many computer can I install Premiere Elements (one licens)

    On how many computer can I install Premiere Elements (one licens)

    number
    What are the computer operating systems involved? Are you installing from installation files (from online download purchase) or from installation disc
    (from purchase in boxed packaging)? Answers to those questions would probably get you the best possible answer to your question.
    If installation files.....
    You are not going to be able to install a Premiere Elements Windows purchased serial number on a Mac computer or a Premiere Elements Mac
    purchased serial number on a Windows computer.
    If installation discs...
    Box packaging typically comes with two installation discs....one for Windows and one for Mac. In this type of situation, typically you use one
    serial number for them both. If that is the case, then the following applies...
    Adobe allows you to use the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. And, you do not use them at the same time.
    If you are dealing with two computers with the same operating system, then you should be able to use that same purchased serial number for that operating system on no more than 2 of your computers. Again, you do not use them at the same time.
    Please let us know if any questions or need clarification.
    Thanks.

    Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How many machines can I install on with one Mountain Lion download?

    I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  Do I have to buy two Mountain Lion downloads - one for each, or can I somehow download twice after paying once?

    Actually, having made the same claim a couple of days ago and being proven completely wrong, I have a certain responsibility to correct you by mentioning that there is no limit to how many machines ML can be installed on, as long as you own or control those machines.

  • Can I install more than one configurator profile

    I want to develop 3 or maybe 4 layers of iPad iOS8 restrictions & Passcode rules.
    For example ALL iPads will have enforced Passcode rules, but only SOME iPads ill require content filtering & SOME require Control centre in lock mode.
    The actual working groups of iPads require a lot more complicated set of config elements - above is only an example.
    I'd like to create & install different profiles & INSTALL MORE THAN ONE PROFILE.
    I have tested this on a few iPads & it seems to work.
    My question is - Is this the recommended way / is there a problem if i install more that one profile ?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Kind Regards
    George kennedy.

    We install many configuration profiles on each of our devices. We only use one payload per configuration profile so that we can be very granular with our configurations. What I don't know is what would happen if you installed 2 configuration profiles with conflicting restrictions (i.e. one configuration profile allows Messages, and another does not allow Messages). We just make sure we install only one restrictions configuration profile, and then a bunch of other configuration profiles (mail and calendar settings, web clips, WiFi profiles, etc) on each device.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I install more than one PCI1409 in a PC

    I have to capture two RGB sources for identical treatment. Can I install more than on PCI1409 in one PC ? Is there a limitation of the number of cards ?

    You can install multiple cards in a single computer. The main limitation is bandwidth of the PCI bus. I am not sure exactly what that limit is, but I don't think you would have any problem acquiring two RGB signals at normal rates.
    If you have to process the images as you acquire them, you could run out of processing power, though.

    Hello Gesturinn,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article outlines troubleshooting issues when attempting to install iTunes. In your circumstance, it may be as simple as choosing "Save As..." (and ultimately choose a location) instead of "Run".

  • Can I install 8 on the same machine where I have 7?

    Can I install app server 8 on the same machine where I have app server 7 installed already? Are there any conflicts that I need to be aware of?

    Yes, you can install both 7 and 8 on the same system - you simply have to specify different installation location (and different set of port numbers if you plan to use both installations at the same time).
    You can also use upgrade tool which is shipped with release 8 to migrate your server configuration and deployed applications from the old installation into the new installation. See installation guide for more details on this:

  • I have no more OS and i can't install a new one

    My mac was getting too crowded for me, so on a whim i decided to reset it to the factory settings.
    Cmd + R to boot in disk utility thing and deleted OS maverick from my HD. and now for some reason i'm left with 3 partitions on my HD. a 200 GB one with nothing on it. and another 200gb one with nothing on it. both are formatted to MS-DOS (FAT) and 600GB's of unused space.
    First thing i tried was to get all back into 1 partition of 1TB. which gives me this message when i try it:
    Are you sure you want to partition the disc "hitachi HDe721010SLA330 Media?
    These partitions will be erased:
    "02"
    "Macintosh H"
    This partition will be added:
    "untitled 1"
    WARNING: This disc appears to be set up for boot Camp. if you partition this disc, you may not be able to use it tostart up your computer in windows.
    And when i click on partition i get this message:
    Partition failed with the error:
    Couln't unmount disk.
    Then i searched the net on how to unmount disk. all i got was info on how i should boot in another partition and try it the same way, or a little bit otherway in that boot. However , since i do not have any OS on my mac and im unable to install one... that pathway is also closed.
    Then i tried to erase either of the partitions (02 and Macintosh H) which doesn't work. just erasing them does nothing. and using secure erase results in the following error: securely erasing data to prevent recovery failed. - why? i don't know!
    lastly i tried to boot mac with its original CD. holding C while booting with the disc inside. (it does not start up at all, after a while the disc just slides out again)
    To summarize:
    I am stuck using Cmd + R to boot my mac. from there i can only do one of 4 things: 1. start up disk utility. 2. search the net. 3. install mavericks OS 4. use time machine.
    Disk utility has been futile so far. Can't re-partition my HD or delete the partitions manually. or journal the ms-dos files into mac. (were that the case i would be able to install mavericks on them)  But then i would be stuck with a 200GB hd. and since i cant format my hd back into its original 1TB form. its far from optimal.
    Searching the net has not been good for me either.
    Installing mavericks OS is impossible since the discs i CAN use are not formatted for mac. "this disk is not formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable journaling or reformat the disk" <- what it says when i click on it.  I can't enable journaling or reformat the disk in disk utility, it won't let me.
    I have no time machine backup.
    Is there a way for me to reset my IMac to its factory settings without using Disk utility or the original disc? or is there any way you can help me? any sugestions are welcome, I am at my wits end
    Sincerely,
    Micha

  • Can we install more than one gateway service on the Gateway-pc?

    Hellos.
    There are several versions (instances?!) of IDM running happily on our IDMserver e.g. 7.1.04, 8.1.0.12, 8.1.1.0
    What I would like to do is to arrange 3 gateway services one for each IDM version and each version of the gateway bound to a different port.
    When I try to install the second "service" it bombed out with...
    C:\idmgateway71>gateway.exe -i -p 9271
    02/08/2011 15.01.09.402000 [1676] (../../../../src/wps/agent/logging/WSTrace.cpp
    ,150): trace active, level: 4, file: c:\idm\GWtrace.txt, maxSize: 99999 KB
    02/08/2011 15.01.09.402000 [1676] (../../../../src/wps/agent/logging/WSTrace.cpp
    ,108): In WSTrace::init()
    02/08/2011 15.01.09.402000 [1676] (../../../../src/wps/agent/logging/WSTrace.cpp
    ,109): Gateway version: 'Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.1'
    02/08/2011 15.01.09.402000 [1676] (../../../../src/wps/agent/logging/WSTrace.cpp
    ,110): OS version: 'Windows Server 2003 Family Service Pack 2 (Build 3790)'
    Usage: gateway -in -r -s -k -tn -d -pn -fname -ln -mn -v
    -i: Install this program as an NT service, with specified startup
    -r: Remove this program from the Service Manager
    -s: Start the service
    -k: Kill the service
    -t: Set startup for an existing service
    -d: Debug; run as a regular application
    -p: Specify a TCP/IP port number (9278 default)
    -f: Specify the path to the trace file
    -l: Specify the level of tracing (0 default - no information)
    -m: Specify the max trace file size in kilobytes
    -v: Display the version
    ^C
    C:\idmgateway71>
    C:\idmgateway71>
    What gives?!

    I see the methodology...
    I can indeed bind several gateways to different ports.
    BUT.
    I will need as many encryption keys as I have gateway daemons and It seems this Gateway was designed as a single shot.
    I get errors like: Cannot find encryption key from Registry: using default.. and when I try testing the connection I get bad userid/password.
    Thanks for the help I can continue digging at this..

  • Can you install more tha one Itunes account ona computer.. 2 ipods?

    My girlfriend and I share a computer and I have an itunes account and library on the computer, can she use her ipod on my account, or does she need to set up her own account?
    Can 2 itunes accounts be set up on the same computer, and how would I do this?

    Can 2 itunes accounts be set up on the same computer, and how would I do this?
    Yes, they can,. Just make sure you log out between sessions. Each of you would just create a separate account. Or you can have one account. Its up to you.
    Probably best though to have two separate accounts.
