Title:
  grub wouldn't install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  wouldn't install grub after I accidentally tried to install on a
  partition(sda5 with boot flag) instead of the MBR as i didn't want my
  laptops recovery info lost i.e. hold f11 or 0 when power on to
  reinstall windows or backups etc, but obviously i cant do that so
  then I tried to change it back but it kept refusing to install but i
  got it by sudo grub-install /dev/sda. I did notice some driver errors
  flash up while this sent but regarding Nvidia but ill see when i
  reboot
