UEFI mode requires the disk to be partitioned using GPT and to have an
EFI system partition on it, mounted in /boot/grub/efi. You either need
to do that, or continue using bios boot mode.

Title:
grub cannot be installed
Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I was installing the daily build of Ubuntu 14.04 via a live session
USB, using one partition as /home and another as /, both ext4. It all
appeared to be going well until it came time to install grub2, and the
installer stopped and told me "grub cannot be installed to /dev/sda1.
This is a fatal error." and kicked me out of the installer.
I had previously been able to install this image fine booting from
USB, but this time I tried it using the UEFI boot option from the same
USB, and got this error.
