[Bug 1515073] [NEW] Could not create GRUB on SDA or SDB also system font dispolays some letters in white making them hard to read GPU glitch?

[N King]

Public bug reported:

When it gets to the point that it creates GRUB it gets an error writing
to SDA and I tried SDB instead for my second hard drive and it too got
an error. Booted with DVD-R media not a USB device.

Hard to read as the system font has some of the letter white and some of
them black, I think it is a GPU glitch or something. Using NVIDIA GPU.

Using Lubuntu 15.10 64 bit option.

Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
Release:	15.10

This is a bug in the Try Ubuntu without installing and then choosing the
Install Ubuntu option, and it gets as far as creating GRUB and then it
crashes when I can't create GRUB.

I had options to choose the partition GRUB is installed on, none of them
work. Hd chose a continue without installing GRUB which crashed the
setup, promoting for this bug report.

SecureBoot and Fastboot turned off in UEFI BIOS, booted DVD in legacy
mode, have Windows 10 on first hard drive installed in legacy mode.
Turned Windows 10 Fastboot off in Power Setting so it wouldn't interfe
with the boot process.
