The cause for the dev/sda1 install attempted you have described in
comment #3 may be:

Nov  3 03:17:57 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Identified partition label
for /dev/sda1: msdos


Is it correct that you have tried to create a multi boot solution
alongside Windows?

** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- 12.10 grub-install faltal error
+ 12.10 grub-install faltal error - on installing on FAT partition
