    GRUB Boot-Repair Issue

    I tried to install Kali Linux, it worked perfect. After a short period of time, I wanted to install NVIDIA display drivers to use my dedicated GPU. Following the official guide on the Kali Docs, I found myself stuck. When I am booting my BIOS says that there is no bootable device. After that I tried to run a live Ubuntu ISO, which suceeded. I ran boot-repair, but it failed. It brought that error message back: http://paste2.org/hA4ALJc4

    Please help me, I do not know what to do.

    Thanks

    Is your Legacy BIOS enabled because it must be disabled at least for kali-rolling it is not required. Your grub boot loader might be got corrupted. Boot-repair doesn't work with UEFI system and GPT partitioning of disk. Boot into kali-live non-persistent using bootable USB and enter these commands:
    Code:
    1. fdisk -l
    It will display the list of all partitions and the one in which kali-linux is installed
    2. sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt
    Replace star with the number in which kali-linux is installed
    3. sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
    4. sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
    5. sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
    6. sudo chroot /mnt
    7. grub-install /dev/sda
    8. CTRL+D
    9. sudo umount /mnt/dev
    10. sudo umount /mnt/proc
    11. sudo umount /mnt/sys
    12. sudo umount /mnt
    I have a feeling that it will show error after entering the 7th command. Anyway try this. I'll update the commands if they don't work.
