[Bug 1388958] [NEW] Grub can not be installed so I cannot install ubuntu

[betipedro]

Public bug reported:

(i'm soyy about my English)
I have been trying to install ubuntu (the las version) 14.04.1 for 6 days and there are always roblems.
I want ubuntu in a partition and i already have windows installed.
I burn the ISO in the USB, I prepare a free space partition in my hard drive and i start the boot manager.
I select the usb and Ubuntu start the installation. I  select three parts of the drive (the "/", the swap and the "/home") .
Ubuntu starts the installation but when Grub is going to be installed, an error appear:
 (in Spanish) "No se pudo instalar GRUB en /dev/sda
la ejecución de <<grub-install/dev/sda>>falló.
Esto es un Error fatal.


Thanks for your answers, Pedro.
