[Bug 1756767] Re: It crashed during installation. Could not install GRUB

[Phillip Susi]

By default grub installs to your primary drive so you can use the grub
menu to choose which OS to boot.  Your Windows disk is a "dynamic disk",
which is not supported.  You can have the installer install grub to your
second disk along with the rest of Ubuntu, then you will need to go into
your bios and reconfigure it to boot one disk or the other whenever you
want to switch between Windows and Ubuntu.

Title:
  It crashed during installation. Could not install GRUB

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This is a Windows 10 running in one hard drive and Ubuntu being
  installed in another.  I thought I wouldn't even need GRUB, I would
  just choose which HD to start with.

  In any event it crashed, I suppose it is because it wouldn't install
  grub on the Windows HD and didn't want to install in the Ubuntu side.

  I don't understand the problem properly.
