[Bug 1677283] Re: Grub failed to install on SDX? "Fatal error" a thinking circe came up, if i waited for the circle to dissapear i wasn't able to cancel, Chose another partition for a bootloader or contine without. Only pressing before the thinking circle finished would make the options work but not really then it just crashed to this point

You tried to install grub to /dev/sdd1, which is a Windows partition.
You can't do that.  You need to install it to the entire drive (
/dev/sdd, or /dev/sda ) and make sure your bios is set to boot from that
drive.
