Title:
  Error Installing lubuntu from scratch alongside Win 8.1

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Attemt to upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.10

  BAsic problem is:
  Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu Mate installed on drive.
  Downloaded Ubuntu 16.10 ISO from the Lubuntu web site and burned DVD. 
  Ran Lubuntu from Dvd, successful startup
  Ran "Install Lubuntu" from desktop icon.

  Before making this change I had Ubuntu Mate 15.10 installed next to
  Windows 8.1. Boot from EFI file was required to enter
  Ubuntu.EVerything else running normally.

  Attempting to install Lubuntu 16.10 I got this same error twice. 
  First time I created Ubuntu 16.10 DVD and installed over the 15.10 install directly from DVD and got this error near the finish. Ubuntu appeared to work but was unavailable on reboot. Tried an EFI file boot but it only booted to Grub.

  Second time deleted all partitions on drive, installed Win 8.1 on
  200GB and then Lubuntu 16.10 to 100GB Partition and got the same error
  near the finish. Nothing else on drive.
