I've tried this again, and it does not seem to work. Have you actually tried it?

I don't have a CentOS system here that I can reboot readily. And it occurs to me that if I did, I didn't ask if your system boots via BIOS or UEFI.

Thanks for your response. It boots via BIOS, and in fact boots into CentOS-7/KDE on a USB stick (that is how I installed CentOS-7), and into Fedora-21/KDE on a stick.

But it doesn't boot back into the CentOS-7 system that is normally running if I say "sudo grub2-install /dev/sdc" (the USB stick is sdc). It just comes up with the repeated "-", which I take to mean it has found the boot-loader on the USB stick, but has not found the kernel on /dev/sda6.
