[Bug 1505373] Re: Install from SD card to alongside Windows 7 fails

[Phillip Susi]

Your installation disc contains a mix of files from different releases
of Ubuntu.  You need to wipe it before setting it up so that it only has
one version on it.

Title:
  Install from SD card to alongside Windows 7 fails

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This does sound similar to 1332295, which was offered by the system,
  but I was using Unbuntu 12.xx (after failing even sooner with 15 and
  14).

  I use the universal installer to put Ubunto on an SD card in an
  external USB device.  It boots okay from there, except that the
  graphics driver only supports a low resolution and I can't upgrade on
  the USB/SD.

  Before trying to install made some empty partition space on both of my
  drives (C: SSD and D: RAID).  At install time I chose "alongside
  windows", not realizing that (apparently) the third option was
  required to let me use that space.  Anyway, I got the warning about
  grub and maybe one more thing (the log was sent automatically, if I
  understand and remember what I saw).

  By the way, the "information will be sent when you close this window"
  step failed the first time hitting the button did nothing except make
  the button pulse.  I went through the whole process a second time, hit
  the button quickly, and it worked.

  Linux was so easy in the old days!  I just want something to do
  occasional tasks with, and I can't seem to install this any way I try.

  The machine has an ASUS X-79 motherboard, 8 GB ram, 6-core processor,
  and Windows 7 Pro.  Graphics card is the first nVidia card I found
  that would handle my big LG screen.  Sorry to be vague.
