[Bug 1301691] Re: 14.04 64bit grub-install error Dell Alienware M14x R2

[Phillip Susi]

You appear to be trying to install to a disk set up for bios booting
rather than EFI, but you booted the installer in EFI mode.  You need to
boot the install cd in bios mode if you don't want to convert to EFI.
