I have encountered an issue while setting up a new SSD. Before incorporating the new drive, I had a partitioned HDD, Windows 7 (manufacturer installed) on one partition, with Debian on the other partition. Grub was installed on this hard drive, and upon boot I would filter through the list of bootable OSs and choose what I wanted, Debian or Windows.
Now with a new SSD, I installed Kali on it for fun and when asked about installing Grub, I hit some issues:
If I install Grub on the original HDD, then I am no longer able to find my Debian partition as a boot option. Both the Windows side of the HDD and Kali on the SSD work, but Debian is not listed.
If I install Grub on the new SSD itself, then the original HDD is no longer able to be found when booting, and when it boots the SSD as a result, I just get the blinking cursor and have no options.
I am new to this and trying very hard to solve my own problems. I am not worried particularly about loss of crucial data, and I of course do not need all these distros by any means, I am simply trying to have fun trying different things, but this has presented quite the issue.
If there is any more information I can provide please let me know. Thanks!
