hi there,
hmm, the strange part is during the installation, there is one screen it ask where i want to put the bootloader, the default option was /dev/sda but i change it and put it under /dev/sda3.

I think the grub is there, but not sure how do i get to it.
usually when installing in a dual environment, what is the best practice ? it is to put the bootloader in the /dev/sda or the /dev/sdx where the linux / is ?

thank you
