[Bug 1019206] Re: grub-install fail while installing Ubuntu next to Windows on HP Desktop computer

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sdb, and it appears to be partitioned
incorrectly.  Instead of starting at the 1 MiB mark, the partition
starts only 16k into the disk, and this does not leave enough room for
grub.  Delete the partition and start over.


** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
