[Bug 1097142] Re: Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10 cannot be installed

[Phillip Susi]

It looks like you are trying to use GPT in a bios booting machine.  To
do this you must create a 1 MB bios_grub partition.

  Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10 cannot be installed

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10 cannot be installed do to grub failing to install, gives fatal error, I'm running Ubuntu Gnome Remix amd64 (my system has an Intel Core i7 3770k) from a Corsair 32GB USB 3.0 flash driver through a USB 3.0 port on my Control Panel (ASMedia Controller)
  The live session loads up I go to install it on to my  Crucial M4 SSD (My system has 2 Seagate 2TB HDDs, 1 Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD and 1 Crucial M4  126GB SSD) and the installer goes all the way through and just before I get the popup notification saying that installation is complete, I get a grub can't install fatal error, which asks me for a new location to install grub, no location works, not the SDDs or the HDDs
