[Bug 1067956] [NEW] grub bootloader was unable to install on any partition

[Lester]

Public bug reported:

Installing along side windows 7 about 3/4 through the install the
installer popped up with grub installer unable to install on specified
location.... Tried to install on every other given partition that would
not overwrite the current OS. However every time it was the same error.
I love using Ubuntu and have been for years. This is the first problem
like this I have encountered. Thank you for your help on this.
