I have a Asus ux32a laptop that I attempted to install Doris ultimate on. On my 300gb hard drive without an os or possible ubuntu/or mint. A 24gb ssd I was using to install zoris. And a usb with zoris on it. So I began the installation and all went well until the end, then I got a error message grub/something I pressed on and it prompted me to install in another location and I selected sdb I believe. It continued then said restart. Ever since I can only get to a black screen saying no such device grub rescue or a black screen with the a blinking "_". Tried a lot of combinations between the three boot options to no success. Also my laptop doesn't have a disc drive, but the usb has been working good for all previous installations

Hi,

download a copy of "Boot Repair" and create a disk/USB stick and boot from it to repair the boot manager, you have placed the GRUB file in the wrong place!:

Hope it helps.
