[Bug 1285760] [NEW] Error on grub installer in Efi mode - I can't boot ubuntu from HDD

[Lantero-luca]

Public bug reported:

On Acer G570 with Windows 8.1 already installed and an EFI partition

I have tried to install Ubuntu 12.04.4  from USB (dual boot).
sda2 is the efi partition
sda4 is tge Windows partition
sda7 is the Ubutnu partition (mount point /)
 
When we arrive at the grub installation I have an error: " Grub 2 fails tp install in the target directory".

Then I have tried with "boot-repair" (Raccomanded option) it has
created the grub file on the EFI partition.

But then, when I try to boot, I receive the grub windows, but I'm unable to boot ubuntu (when I select ubuntu I received: "EFI disk error".
Instead the boot of Windows works correctly
