Explanation

The command that will help the administrator install GRUB on the legacy MBR of the SATA hard drive is grub-install /dev/sda. This command will install GRUB on the master boot record (MBR) of the first SATA disk (/dev/sda). The MBR is the first sector of a disk that contains boot code and a partition table. GRUB will overwrite the boot code and place its own code that can load GRUB modules and configuration files from a specific partition.
