[Bug 1351570] Re: crashed while installing ubuntu on brand new laptop with SSD drive

[Phillip Susi]

It appears that you have two hard disks and have installed Ubuntu on the
second one ( sdb ), but the boot loader ( grub ) defaults to installing
on the first drive ( sda ), which fails because your first drive is
blank.  You either need to create a partition table and some kind of
partition on sda, or choose to install grub to sdb instead.
