[Bug 1310373] Re: Ubiquity crashed after failed installation

[Phillip Susi]

Windows XP ( which is no longer supported so you really should not be
running or it will no doubt be compromised via unpatched security holes
) started its partition in sector 63, rather than at 1 MiB, as is the
standard since Windows Vista.  This does not leave enough room to
install grub when you are also using lvm.  You will need to repartition
the drive so that there are more than 63 unused sectors before the first
partition.
