so what is this then?
i dont even know if to install grub for bios or grub for efi…
It’s an SSD I use for video storage while I edit it.
so lets reinstall grub for the sdc:
grub-install --force --target=i386-pc --recheck --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdc
any errors?
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: cannot open directory `/boot/grub/i386-pc': No such file or directory
are you sure manjaro is on the sdc?
100% sure
dont know what to do, reinstalling didnt worked…
post output from:
cat /etc/fstab
blkid
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/mapper/root-imag
Does not return anything.
well thats a problem… also the fstab is empty … have no idea what happened, or how to fix it…
are you chrooted?
is it encrypted?
can you access data on your manjaro?
Not right now.
It isn’t.
I can
are you kidding me… were you running the reinstall command from chroot?
I was. Is that bad?
no you should run the grub reinstall from chroot…
so chroot and post output from:
cat /etc/fstab
blkid

Worked now. I might have not been chrooted 
so now run:
mkinitcpio -P && update-grub
and post output from it here
