[Bug 1271934] Re: 14.04 failed to complete install with the error "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/."

[Iain Cuthbertson]

The downloaded ISO was fine, it was the instillation media that was
corrupted.

Checking the install media before installing (option in GRUB) confirmed
that the original attempt had 17 files at fault.

Fixed by sending /dev/zero via dd to the USB memory stick for a few
seconds to kill the partition table, I was then able to use the Startup
Disk Creator.
