Trouble with Grub after antiX install

[Member tosemusername]

I on a UEFI-enabled laptop with a dual disk, dual boot (Linux/Win) setup, and having trouble installing Grub.

Should I even be choosing MBR instead of ESP? I’m asking out of cluelessness. ESP gives me the option to select /dev/sdb2, Windows’s EFI parition, and I don’t want to risk messing with Windows boot since it’s also a paint to restore.

The main question is: what should I do so grub can install itself, preferably on /dev/sda?

As far as I’m aware, ESP (EFI Special Partition) is where you need to have your Linux boot on a UEFI enabled computer, MBR (Master Boot Record) is legacy booting, & PBR (Partition Boot Record) is installed to the partition.

Linux (& BSD) since 1999

I don’t know if you can install grub in a different disk to where antiX is installed. You may have to manually create it with gparted first.

You can maybe get something out of dolphin_oracle’s video:
