[Bug 1436145] Re: Over no less than 6 attempts to load Ubuntu 13.04, the grub installer failed to load. I made an unallocated space on the installation disk with no improvement.

[Phillip Susi]

13.04 is end of life and no longer supported.  You will need to use
14.04 or 14.10.  Also it looks like you are trying to install to a
Windows' "Dynamic Disk", which is unsupported.  You will need to have
windows convert it back to a basic disk.  Finally, your CPU is
overheating.

Title:
  Over no less than 6 attempts to load Ubuntu 13.04, the grub installer
  failed to load. I made an unallocated space on the installation disk
  with no improvement.

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
   I installed Ubuntu previously and used it for a few years (dual boot
  with Windows 7). The (Ubuntu) disk developed a problem (probably
  physical) and I could no longer load Ubuntu from the boot menu. I have
  replaced the suspect disk since. I have tried to load versions of
  Ubuntu from 9... to 13.04 but none could successfully load grub. At
  the end of the installations, most would work well enough (though a
  bit slowly) but could not be reloaded after the restart.

  My system is already loaded with Windows 7 (which is running well).
  Windows is loaded on one disk and Ubuntu on another.

  The rest you might have already collected in the report.

  I would appreciate any help you could give as I like using Ubuntu.
