[Bug 1524506] [NEW] unable to instal grub2 on HDD 2 with win 8.1 on HDD 1

[demo64]

Public bug reported:

I am installing Ubuntu 15.10 from a USB key created with Unetbootin
I choose Install Ubuntu aside of Windows 8.1 but there wasn't no available space on HDD1 so the installer selected HDD 2 for installation
I expected to be able to complete the installation on HDD 2, because it was empty and it has a capacity of 1 Tbyte
Installation stopped abruptedly because Ubuntu told me he wasn't able to install the bootloader Grub2
