[Bug 1683049] Re: OS installation crashes while installing grub on hdb

[Meldrian]

Oh, Im sorry.

I've seen the error, it warned me about existing OSes that would not 
boot, but since I decided to wipe the preinstalled windows i did not 
knew that partition was necessary afterwards. Now I do. Thank you for 
your answer, i really appreciate it. As you said, the installation runs 
smoothly after I've chosen guided installation. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Greetings & thx again,
