[solved] Failed to install GRUB boot on /dev/sda1
Hi, I tried to change my disk from BIOS/MBR to BIOS/GPT but it's giving me this following error: https://0x0.st/HdQe.log. I tried to convert it back to MBR these following things:
* Use `sgdisk -m /dev/sda`
* Use `gdisk /dev/sda`, them `r`, then `g`
* Use `wipefs /dev/sda`, then install
But the error persists. What should I do?

I managed to install Arch Linux manually. Apparently `archinstall` does not create this required partition when using the partition layout suggestion option (when using BIOS instead of UEFI). Is there any way to convert it back do MBR (in case that I wanted to)?

Re: [solved] Failed to install GRUB boot on /dev/sda1
To convert a disk to MBR, you can use the fdisk command.
sudo fdisk /dev/sdX #Replace with your disk
o
wDo keep in mind though, that this does cause every partition to be removed.
