[Bug 1037250] Re: installation failure at "grub step", dell latitude e6430

[useResa]

I installed Ubuntu from an USB stick that was created with unetbootin.
During the second trial of the installation I looked at the advanced partition editor and noticed that by default grub was going to be installed on /dev/sdb. Changing this to /dev/sda resulted in a succesful installation.

So basically not a big issue. Just the question remaining: why is the
default not the same as the disk (partition) that is chosen for the
installation?
