edited April 2017 in Installation

I'm trying to update the grub so i can have two OS on this machine! i'm trying to make appear a row on the grub entry and i'm no getting it! Here's some of the outputs that i'm getting:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda2

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.

Installation finished. No error reported.

sudo update-grub

I'm having a boot flag on dev/sda1, i'm viewing the files on it (i think)! i'm wondering if the boot flag is on the correct device! How can i add that disk to the grub menu on startup?
