OK. Will try.

In rescue mode, the root directory will end up being mounted from
/dev/sdb2 as /mnt/sysimage
So I guess, I would invoke grub-install as follows:

grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/sysimage /dev/sda

Is this correct?

Recall that /dev/sda is all windows. There is no Linux on it.

Will this then cause grub, which will boot off of sda
be able to see the grub.conf menu on /dev/sdb2 ?

Thanx,

JD
