Title:
  Installation crashed on unable to install grub in /dev/sda

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  machine is  HP Notebook with 1TB drive along side with Windows 10.
  Previous message was Partition #9 scsi1(0,0,0(sda as ext4), but when
  installing grub 2, system displayed unable to install grub2 in
  /dev/sda.  Then with a pop-up box stating that was a fatal error!

       Installation CD source was LINUX Format magazine issue 224 which
  included a 17.04 formatted CD!

  I was expecting the grub menu to be installed so that when I completed
  the installation, I could select between ubuntu 17.04 and Win 10.

      Because I don't have the unity screen, I can not check lsb_release
