[Bug 1752229] Re: UEFI install failed to install grub on system with non-UEFI windows install

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  UEFI install failed to install grub on system with non-UEFI windows
  install

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Early in the install process there was a warning about a non-UEFI
  operating system which may not be accessible after proceeding with a
  UEFI ubuntu install.  I didn't really care about losing the other OS
  so I proceeded.  Later in the install process grub failed to install.
