Title:
  Trying to Install Ubuntu in Alienware x17M R3

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Trying to install near 3/4 of the end says: Executing 'Grub-install /dev/sda'  Failed Fatal error.  Also is it press ok apperas: Not possible to install the boot loader at the locations. And I've tried to select all of the locations and it doesn't accept and if I continue without it says I will have to install manually.
  I've tried Downloading the iso file from the website, used the tools to install on the flash drive, I've burned to a CD in slow speed and both gave me this error.
  I've partitioned my drive in 2 previously (C: and F:) I've tried to install on the F: on the C:, I've also tried to create a new partition in FAT32, didn't work, EXT4, didn't work, and I've also tried to leave unallocated space...
  With updates, without updates.

  I've also tried to install from Wibi on windows 7.
  But it says that the install was complete and u have to reboot ur system, and when u do, appears to choose between Win7 and Ubuntu, and if u choose Ubu appears something like: can't find " prefix" file?
  don't quite remember now...

  I've tried to isntal like 9 times already 
  I'm not a Linux user, I'm trying to be... lol
  thankz for the help
