[Bug 1835543] [NEW] Installation crashed due to a failed installation of GRUB onto the following /boot drive: /dev/sdc1

[Nick De Been]

Public bug reported:

I'm trying to install Ubuntu for my older brother, it installs
everything else other then the GRUB bootloader which is required to boot
Ubuntu and my other operating system which is Windows 10 Professional
x64, this is now serious as I have no idea how to repair the
installation and need to be contacted by email so I can speak to someone
ear to ear, because if I try to repair the installation, the installer
returns an error: ubi-partman failed with exit code 10. Further
information can be found in /var/log/syslog.

It then asks me if I want to try the step again before continuing, I
click try again and the same error returns, I click continue anyway only
to realize that I have not selected a boot drive, which means its going
to overwrite everything on my nvme drive which I don't want it to.

Thank you.
