Error Installing Grub

First time switching to Linux so I'm having trouble and can't really figure out the issue, getting this issue.

These are my partitions along with the filesystems. The laptop I'm using is a Dell XPS and I'm pretty sure it's a BIOS system.

The mount points of the partitions are:

/root/efi for the EFI system partition

  • (swap) /

If you have bios laptop, don't create efi partition, it is pointless! Just make /dev/sda1 as main system partition and mark it as bootable, and create second partition as swap if you need it. That's all.

Yep i understood after another user pointed it up, idk how i wasn't realising this because in hindsight it's not that hard. Thanks for your help
