[Bug 1700289] Re: grub install failed on primary hard drive

[Phillip Susi]

Your drive is not partitioned properly as the first partition starts
only a few thousand bytes into the disk, and this does not leave enough
room for grub.  Normally the first partition starts at 1 MiB.  You will
need to destroy the partition and start over.
