I want to install a linux distribution on my computer. I have a SSD and an HDD. The SSD has Windows 8.1 and I partitioned 200 gigs from my 1 TB HDD to install linux. The linux installation was going smoothly until it reached the step where it needed to install Grub. I encountered the error "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda"

The Linux partition is in the drive /dev/sdb and my Windows is on /dev/sda. I read online that since I'm putting linux on a seperate drive from my Windows that I need to install Grub on the MBR which means that I need to install Grub in /dev/sda, right?

Also, I want to mention that fast boot and secure boot are disabled.

I need some advice, I've been working on this for hours!

Can you install GRUB on another partition (i.e. the linux partition?).

If so, you could then just add GRUB to Windows' bootloader as described in the answer to this more or less related quesiton.
