I have 2 hard drive (SSD) in my laptop. One hard drive has windows 10 installed and other hard drive has kali linux installed. After reinstalling Windows 10 my kali linux grub boot loader isn't working anymore. So I tried to reinstall grub boot loader for kali linux with kali live cd.
I used these commands to install grub boot loader for kali linux:
sudo mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev &&
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts &&
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc &&
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sdb
Whenever I write the command:
grub-install /dev/sdb
I get an error message "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory."
Can anyone please help me out!
