Can you answer my question please? I think what happened is that you
had windows on the disk with all 4 partitions used, and tried to install
along side. This failed because all 4 partitions were in use. I think
that for some reason the installer decided that grub needed to be
installed to /dev/sda4 ( probably because that was your windows boot
partition ), and it remembered that decision after you backed up and
tried to install using the whole disk, which deleted /dev/sda4, and at
that point, grub should be installed to /dev/sda.
If that is how it went, then this is a bug that should be fixed.
