[Bug 1595585] Re: installer crash directly prior to creation of bootloader (could not create bootloader on the selected partition)

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install Ubuntu to /dev/sdd and grub to /dev/sda3, which is
a Windows partition.  You need to install grub to /dev/sda instead.

Title:
  installer crash directly prior to creation of bootloader (could not
  create bootloader on the selected partition)

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  installation proceeded normally until it tried to install grub on the
  boot partition (dual boot, running w10 pro). At that point it failed,
  then told me to pick between cancel and 'dont try', but when I
  selected dont try, it gave another error, then asked to file this bug
  report.
