Installed grub but system doesn't boot.

I'm having trouble installing grub.

I used to have a UEFI boot setup but it constantly failed so I decided to use normal boot instead. Unfortunately, the system doesnt boot into grub.

What I did was:

1. Disabled UEFI by choosing `legacy oprom only` in the BIOS settings.
2. Create a ef02 partition in `/dev/sda3`.
3. Install grub like this:

grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

But nothing is booting except my arch-linux from a USB.

My motherboard is Asus 7 Maximus.

Maybe someone can help me solving this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Did you really type /dev/sdx?

If the ISO works, it should be doable.

Moving from System Administration to Newbie Corner.

GPT partition or MBR ?

Edit nm... just noticed you did create a `0xEF02` partition

Hi.

No I typed /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdx.

It should be but it's not.
Also, I'm no newbie.

What was the output from those commands?

What is the output of:

# gdisk -l /dev/sda

Arch Linux
