[Bug 1659262] [NEW] Installing 16.04.1, grub* package could not be installed.

[Samuel Bancal]

Public bug reported:

Tried to install Ubuntu on a PC with already Win 7 installed.

BIOS is set to UEFI boot, but Legacy didn't work either.

On a Precision Tower 3620, with 2 HDD :
        *-disk

             product: Micron 1100 SATA

By the way, Windows MBR was broken before trying to install Ubuntu.
