[Bug 1645058] Re: trying to install 16.10 in a dual boot with Win10 but on a separate drive

[Jeff Smith]

Actually I got it to install by turning on the BIOS' EFI options.  Can't tell you why that worked..  Windows 10 was running without the EFI options (as I had problems with EFI some time ago when installing an earlier version of Ubuntu).  When I turned on EFI, Ubuntu installed straight through.
Other than some video driver issues it's been running great (and I haven't booted to the Windows side since..)
