[Bug 1511642] Re: grub doesn't install on Medion Akoya P-6815

[Felix Homa]

Hi,
Thanks dor the response, but this bug report isn't about the upgrade, but about a fresh install.
I fixed the problem by redownloading the image formatting the installation usb stick.
And I had to switch the target medium. As I said I had a HDD with 1TB installed. Because I wanted to try windows 10 I had one SSD spare (because windows 10 sucked) and after installing onto the ssd it finally worked. (I went so far completely reset the HDD but that didn't help)

Title:
  grub doesn't install on Medion Akoya P-6815

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) Xubuntu 14.04 LTS amd64 Live (on USB)
  2) Packed grub version in this ISO
  3) The bootloader is installed sucessfully
  4) Only the files are extracted, the system is not bootable

  With the same configuration I already installed the System the same way. Unfortunatly I tried to upgrade to 15.04, but the upgrade failed. 
  Now I try to reinstall the System (14.04) to make my notebook usable again, but I don't want to loose the data on 2 Partitions at the end of the HDD (1 is home, 1 is steam library).

  Install Settings:
  Lang: English
  Keyboard: German
  Install thirdparty tools

  HDD: (1TB Space) (using "Something else")
  /dev/sdb (GPT)
   1 MB free
   256 MiB sdb1 efi boot partition (Selected for bootloader)
