How can you tell its 32 bit? I'm on a 64 bit machine. I'm not sure why I would have downloaded wrong version. I recall download site being confusing and not very clear.

Are you sure Live cd will work on 64 bit because you know I had trouble installing 64 bit on UEFI? I know we are not installing it here but still...

Should they be anything after the "a" in sda in the code you provided above?
example like:
sda*
sda**
or is it actually just meant to be plain "sda".
Don't use legacy mode. Switch to UEFI. Download kali-linux-2017-W16-amd64.iso from here http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-weekly/ . Create a bootable USB of GPT partition scheme for UEFI using rufus. Then boot into kali live and run the process. The i386 is 32-bit image. amd64 is 64-bit image.

It should be grub-install /dev/sda where /dev/sda is the name of your hard disk.

Optional choice: Throw your DVD. It won't let you do the work. Get yourself familiar with the bootable USBs and UEFI firmwares.
