[Bug 1672900] Re: Running "grub-install / dev / sda" failed this error is fatal

[Phillip Susi]

Your EFI system partition is corrupt; you will need to repair it with
either dosfsck, or Windows' chkdsk/scandisk.

Title:
  Running "grub-install / dev / sda" failed this error is fatal

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I've tried installing Ubuntu 16.04.2 on an HP Desktop, the specs are:

  Intel CELERON  CPU @ 2.26ghz
  4GB Ram
  250Gb SATA HDD

  When it gets to the "Running 'grub-install/dev/sda'..." part of the
  install, it hangs  and then returns an error:

  Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda
  Executing 'grub-install/dev/sda' failed.
  This is a fatal error.

  I have to close without it proposes to me of solution except a report
  of bug
