[Bug 1432014] Re: Update 10.04 to 12.04 GRUB failed to install

[Phillip Susi]

It looks like you reused the same usb stick to install 10.04 and 12.04,
so there are still leftover bits of 10.04 on the stick, corrupting the
install of 12.04.  You need to format the stick clean before using usb
creator to make it bootable with 12.04.
