Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Grub-installer Crashed during system installtion along side windows,

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

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installer crashed during grub-installer while
  attempting to install along side Windows 7. Formated a 160GB drive to
  split evenly between windows and Linux at the very end of the install
  it crashed the grub-installer because it was try to direct it to a
  Unallocated 750GB  drive that has not been set up yet. This is the
  second attempt installing alongside windows. The 160GB drive had NTFS
  file system then during the installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I used
  the Installer to Format the drive to use 80GB as NTFS and 80 as EXT4.
  I am using AMD x64 processor with Windows 7 Pro 64 on the drive. If
  any more information is needed you can contact me via email.
