<p>Hi,</p>
<p>mount -a reads your /etc/fstab file.</p>
<p>If sda2 is in that file and has the location as /mnt yes it would
work.</p>
<p>But it is unlikely.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So that is why you need to specify the partition, being /dev/sda2
and the mount point which is /mnt</p>
<p>mount /dev/sda2 /mnt</p>
<p> <br>
</p>
<p>Good luck</p>

Hi,<br>
that is because you didn't mount sda2.<br>
So try again but first,<br>
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt<br>

<div>Hi Rob,</div>
<div>One thing did not work, and that may be why the chroot
/mnt does not work...</div>
<div>The command mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc</div>
<div>gives me the message:</div>
<div>mount point /proc does not exist</div>
<div>and when I run chroot /mnt</div>
<div>failed to run /bin/bash, no such file exists.</div>
<div>I am logged in as root, that is why I did not write sudo.</div>
<div>Thanks, I hope I can get the GRUB fixed up.</div>

What have ou tried when fixing your old install on sda2.<br>
<br>
That should be recoverable quite easily.<br>
<br>
<br>
You need to mount the /dev from your currently running
Ubuntu to the<br>
mounted partition.<br>
<br>
For example<br>
<br>
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev<br>
<br>
Assuming that sda2 is mounted to /mnt<br>
<br>
<br>
Repeat that for sys and proc<br>
<br>
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys<br>
<br>
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc<br>
<br>
<br>
Then change the root file system using the chroot command<br>
<br>
chroot /mnt<br>
<br>
Now your computer thinks you are actually using sda2 instead
of your USB.<br>
<br>
If you want to install your boot loaded from sda2 to your
hard drive<br>
type this:<br>
<br>
grub-install /dev/sda<br>
<br>
update-grub<br>
<br>
thene xit the chroot<br>
<br>
exit<br>
<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
<br>
