Kali Linux Grub repair using live CD option does not work
I tried to install Kali Linux but it failed due to internet connection issue. Then I tried to repair the grub file using Kali Linux Live CD option. I executed all the commands. However, I cannot see the Kali Linux in the OS list.
Code:
root@kali:~# sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt
root@kali:~# mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
root@kali:~# mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
root@kali:~# mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
root@kali:~# mount /dev/sda+ /mnt/boot/efi
