I have three hard drives, Win 10 on SDa, Mint 17.3 on SDb and will install Suse 42.1 on SDc. Grub is presently on SDA, the SUSE installer wants to put grub on SDc. Want to check to see if anybody can help as where to install grub for this situation.
Are you using UEFI with windows 10 and Mint 17? Or are they standard MBR installs? If you install Grub from Opensuse to sdc, it will be either to /dev/sdc, which would be the Master Boot Record of that drive, or it could be to the system partition of Opensuse. If you are using Grub from Mint currently, you could update Grub from Mint to include Opensuse after the install if you install Grub to the Opensuse partition. If you install Grub from Opensuse to /dev/sdc, you can select that drive in the BIOS on boot.
Thanks yancek, The installs are MBR as I had Win 7 before I upgraded to Win 10. Was not sure about where to install grub so your info was helpful, thanks again
