[Bug 1073799] Re: fatal error on grub-install

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.  I noticed that you are installing an older version of Ubuntu, unless you have some specific requirements to run an older release I recommend trying to install the latest version of Ubuntu.  We released version 12.04, in April of 2012, and it is a Long Term Support release.  You can find different ways to obtain it at http://download.ubuntu.com.  In the event that you really want to run the older version of Ubuntu please set this bug's status back to New.  Thanks!

Title:
  fatal error on grub-install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Started with 12.04 LTS on a Dell Studio XPS-8100 with 2 SATA HDD's.
  1st HDD is 2 partitions, SDA1 is 60GB with "/", SDA2 has "/Home" in
  100GB.  Made one 12.04 install cleanly earlier today, but 2nd and 3rd
  retries failed at Grub-Install.  Same holds true for the most recent
  attempt with 11.10.  Gets a "Grub Error-no such partition" after the
  restart.
