Hi, using GParted I can have a full information about all the HDs on the computer.. : ================== the first HD is ST3500418AS - this HD is not relevant for the grub problem because is used ony for datas storage (I know it - the label is : data_storing) ------------------------------------ the second HD is WDC WD10EZEX-60Z ... and have two partitions sdb1 (FileSys.: ext4 - mount point : /boot - *the flag is signed with "boot"*) sdb2 (FileSys.: lvm2 pv - mount point : /fedora - the flag is signed with "lvm") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the third HD is WDC WD5000AZRX-0 ... and have three partitions sdc1 (FileSys.: nfts - mount point : nothing - the* flag is signed with "boot"*) sdc2 (FileSys.: extended - mount point : nothing - the flag is signed with "lba") sdc5 (FileSys.: nfts - mount point : nothing - the flag is not reported) ==================
At this point I think to know that there are two HDs bootable on the computer (because these have the "partition tables" activated): WDC WD5000AZRX-0 ----- partition sdb1 WDC WD5000AZRX-0 ----- partition sdc1 But .. my acknowledge about Grub is no so very very good, and I would beg to be helped to understand as grub can work in a such situation. This in order to concretely be able to solve this problem (that look to be no so much trivial...).
