[Bug 1781237] [NEW] grub installation failes

[Stephen Raj Samuel]

Public bug reported:

I already had Windows 8 and BOSS Linux on my machine. But there wont be
any option to choose the OS during boot. Windows 8 will be automatically
booted. After creating Ubuntu flashdrive I chose the "Try without
installing" option and formatted the BOSS partition using the included
Gparted tool. Now when I try to install Ubuntu on the newly formatted
partition this error occurs and I couldn't boot into any OS. I don't
want to format my Windows partition
