Boot Linux Mint Partition from VirtualBox on Windows, don't seem to have /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc
As the title states, I'm trying to boot a regular Linux partition from VirtualBox on Windows. I found this tutorial and followed it. Basically, this just creates an ISO file of the GRUB configuration so that VirtualBox can simply read the partition as if it was a normal virtual machine. However, when it comes to creating an ISO, I don't seem to have /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc, as the tutorial requires.
I searched and couldn't really find any information why that is. I'm also in no way an expert in Linux or GRUB, so I might also just not know what the right search term is here. The only folders I have in /usr/lib/grub/ are called x86_64-efi and x86_64-efi-signed. I did try to create an ISO from both of those but without luck.
Regarding my setup, I have Windows 10 installed on one SSD and then installed Mint 19 in dual boot configuration on another SSD. My GRUB version is 2.02-2ubuntu8.9, so it is the latest.
I'm out of ideas, so I appreciate any help regarding that folder and why I don't have it. And I do apologize if it is a stupid question :)
