[Bug 1761283] [NEW] Grub will not install in a new dual boot Win-10/Ubuntu 16, 04

[Loren Forslund]

Public bug reported:

   Doing a dual boot to a partitioned SSD in a HP laptop.  This already
has a Win-10 upgrade from Win-8 in a 90 gig partition and I was adding
Ubuntu 16.04 to a 30 gig partition. Tried to install GRUB to sda since
the bios is set to boot the main drive.  2 tries with the same result,
the second was to remove and reinstall Ubuntu 16.04.
