Finally up and running whoop whoop :)

Also, instead of running sudo update-grub I would run:

 sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

update-grub is just a alias for grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but if you run the actual command you at least know exactly what is happening!

nothing will happen if you run

sudo grub-install /dev/sdx

btw, you want to substitute the letter of the disk you want your boot loader installed on, which will be /dev/sda for the first, /dev/sdb for the second

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

to install to the first harddisk for example.
