[Bug 1016990] [NEW] grub installation to boot partition fails

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 (I did 12.04 before
but discovered it has unsolved bugs for nvidia graphics).

I used this tutorial (that was actually for Ubuntu 11.04, so maybe
that's part of the problem). http://linuxbsdos.com/ask/2011/10/dual-
boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-11-10/

I followed the tutorial completely, but at the end, when installation of
Ubuntu should have completed, I got an error saying that installation of
the boot loader failed. I tried installing in the default partition, but
I got the same error message.

I have a Dell XPS L502X.

Hope this helps.
