Instructions to Install GRUB

To probe all operating systems on sda, install GRUB, and make it recognize every OS on sda, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install GRUB

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y grub-pc

Step 2: Install GRUB to sda

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

Step 3: Probe for Operating Systems and Update GRUB

This command will detect all operating systems and generate the GRUB configuration file with entries for each detected OS.

sudo update-grub

After running these commands, GRUB will recognize every OS on sda and update the boot menu accordingly. You can verify the changes by rebooting and checking the GRUB menu.
