grub-pc?–Solved

[Member greyowl]

I am doing an update and upgrade using antiX-Update.

I got a box with the following advisement, but I don’t know what to do:
The grub-pc package is being upgraded. This menu allows you to select │
│ which devices you’d like grub-install to be automatically run for, if │
│ any. │
│ │
│ Running grub-install automatically is recommended in most situations, to │
│ prevent the installed GRUB core image from getting out of sync with GRUB │
│ modules or grub.cfg. │
│ │
│ If you’re unsure which drive is designated as boot drive by your BIOS, │
│ it is often a good idea to install GRUB to all of them. │
│ │
│ Note: it is possible to install GRUB to partition boot records as well, │
│ and some appropriate partitions are offered here. However, this forces │
│ GRUB to use the blocklist mechanism, which makes it less reliable, and │
│ therefore is not recommended.

If I click OK, then I get the below box:
┤ Configuring grub-pc ├────────────────┐
│ GRUB install devices: │
│ │
│ [ ] /dev/sda (80026 MB; Hitachi_HTS541680J9SA00) │
│ [ ] – /dev/sda1 (77845 MB; /) │
│ │
│ │
│ <Ok> │
│ │

Note: I only have one drive on the laptop.
If I choose either of the above choices, I get the below box:
You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue, the boot │
│ loader may not be properly configured, and when this computer next │
│ starts up it will use whatever was previously in the boot sector. If │
│ there is an earlier version of GRUB 2 in the boot sector, it may be │
│ unable to load modules or handle the current configuration file. │
│ │
│ If you are already using a different boot loader and want to carry on │
│ doing so, or if this is a special environment where you do not need a │
│ boot loader, then you should continue anyway. Otherwise, you should │
│ install GRUB somewhere. │
│ │
│ Continue without installing GRUB? │
│ │
│ <Yes> <No>

If I choose “No”, then it takes me back to the first box above.
I have not chosen “yes” yet.
This is where I am stuck and don’t know what to do.

To select an option it’s the spacebar key, if I remember right.
/dev/sda should be right.
