[Bug 1609480] [NEW] Ubuntu dual boot failed due to failure of "grub-install"

[Keyur Joshi]

Public bug reported:

I had a working Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8.1 dual boot system on Lenovo
Ideapad P500 touch.

After upgrading to Windows 10, grub had issues identifying correct boot
partition. I tried to re-install grub but it failed. I couldn't restore
Ubuntu 14.04 ever since.

I am now trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or even a fresh start
will be ok. but installation fails due to failure of "grub-install"
