Title:
  grub-install/dev/sda failed

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am installing Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS from a bootable usb I created. It
  works fine when I just try Ubuntu. Although sometimes it is unable to
  mount my HDD. When I try to install it by replacing previously
  installed Windows 7 it returns a fatal error with message that grub-
  install/dev/sda failed. As of now there is no active OS in my system
  and the error remains the same.
