Public bug reported:

new build Win 10 already installed on sda (500GB SSD) the installer did
not recognize windows, so I tried to install on sdb partitioned 64 gig

installing grub and dumped me here The boot loader was set to install on
sdb as well, all drives gid not mbr unless windows changed things
without me noticing.
