[Bug 1574785] Re: Impossible to install grub

[mvergnaud]

Thanks for your answer.
In the BIOS utility of my laptop (A.M.I. version 303)  don't see any way of starting in BIOS mode, just CSM enabled-disabled option.
So if I'm right I have to  "use entire disk" to install Ubuntu. That means that my /home separate partition will  be lost  ?

Other question, I installed 14.04 on the same computer without having this problem. Did anything changed ?
Thanks again.
