[Bug 1515073] Re: Could not create GRUB on SDA or SDB also system font dispolays some letters in white making them hard to read GPU glitch?

[Phillip Susi]

You are trying to use a GPT disk in a non UEFI computer; this requires
you to create a 1 mb bios_grub partition.

Title:
  Could not create GRUB on SDA or SDB also system font dispolays some
  letters in white making them hard to read GPU glitch?

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When it gets to the point that it creates GRUB it gets an error
  writing to SDA and I tried SDB instead for my second hard drive and it
  too got an error. Booted with DVD-R media not a USB device.

  Hard to read as the system font has some of the letter white and some
  of them black, I think it is a GPU glitch or something. Using NVIDIA
  GPU.

  Using Lubuntu 15.10 64 bit option.

  Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
  Release:	15.10

  This is a bug in the Try Ubuntu without installing and then choosing
  the Install Ubuntu option, and it gets as far as creating GRUB and
  then it crashes when I can't create GRUB.

  I had options to choose the partition GRUB is installed on, none of
  them work. Hd chose a continue without installing GRUB which crashed
  the setup, promoting for this bug report.

  SecureBoot and Fastboot turned off in UEFI BIOS, booted DVD in legacy
  mode, have Windows 10 on first hard drive installed in legacy mode.
  Turned Windows 10 Fastboot off in Power Setting so it wouldn't interfe
  with the boot process.
