Title:
  Installer crashed (grub error, I think)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm new around here, so apologies if I don't give enough information!

  I was trying to install Ubuntu on to a second hard drive. I have
  Windows 7 x64 on my primary hard drive. I tried to install the boot
  loader to dev/sda1 (Windows Boot Partition) and I got an error message
  saying (something along the lines of) that there was an error
  installing the boot loader.

  The next window asked if I would like to install it elsewhere, to
  which I selected dev/sda.

  Then I got an error message telling me that the installer had crashed
  and I should file a new bug report!

  I've attached syslog and partman as requested from the installer
  crashed message.

  Running Ubunutu 11.04.

  Many thanks!
