[Bug 1706710] [NEW] installation failed on asus x299-e PC to a sata toshiba 2.5inch 500GB drive. grub failed to install

[Brock Gunter-Smith]

Public bug reported:

I created a USB installer of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and attempted to install
it onto a 2.5" 500GB toshiba hard drive connected to a brand new PC
(Asus x299-e mobo, 64GB DDR4 ram, Intel i7-7820x processor), and about
half way through the install, I got an error message saying that the
grub bootloader failed to be installed into /target/.
