[Bug 1799759] Re: SSD upgrade, Grub to HDD

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Were you doing manual partitioning?

If you're installing Ubuntu, doing manual partitioning and booting in
UEFI mode (you see a grub menu rather than a purple background with a
Ubuntu logo), then you need to remember to add a FAT partition to be
mounted to /boot/efi (the EFI System partition).

Title:
  SSD upgrade, Grub to HDD

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hy, I want to upgrade my PC with an SSD.
  I have used Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before from a HDD.
  I want to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 to an SSD. I let the old system for redundance.
  But I want to install grub to the old HDD replacing the old grub.
  The installer can't do it.
