Title:
  unable to install grub in dev/sda10

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Somehow lost the Ubuntu option in dual boot up (with Win7) so after trying other things from forums re-installed 11.04 but it got the above message along with [ "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda10' failed. This is a fatal error.]  Instructions also said to send this to you. No idea if I will be able to see a 11.04 option in boot up but suspect not :(
  Looks like I can only attach one file - will try and copt portman somewhere sfe if you need it.
  Cheers.
