<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
ls /mnt    # should show Linux root directories
ls /mnt/boot/efi   # should show EFI contents (if partition mounted correctly)

</syntaxhighlight>

If both look correct, continue with the bind mounts and chroot:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do
  sudo mount --bind $i /mnt$i
done

sudo chroot /mnt

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Zorin
update-grub
exit

for i in /run /sys /proc /dev/pts /dev; do
  sudo umount /mnt$i
done
sudo umount /mnt/boot/efi
sudo umount /mnt

sudo reboot

</syntaxhighlight>

💡 Key point: The /etc/fstab warning is normal in a Live USB environment — it will not prevent GRUB from being installed.

Do you want me to walk through exactly what to check in <code>/mnt/boot/efi</code> before running <code>grub-install</code> so we’re 100% sure the EFI partition is correct?


'''Prompt:'''
After doing this, the computer still does not boot. After the HP logo, there is a message that says "Reset System" and the computer restarts the boot sequence. This ends up being a loop.

'''ChatGPT:'''
Ah — now we have a very clear picture. This is a classic HP EliteBook UEFI boot problem that happens even when GRUB is installed correctly. Let’s analyze carefully.
