[Bug 1804447] Re: It is trying to install on the wrong partition as the installation is done from USB-drive

[Nils Ottervik]

When reading some of the other reports, they appear to involve 
installation on/to an USB-drive, not from a USB to a harddrive.
Any way, being new to ubuntu I solved it by booting from a live usb and 
download / install GRUB from scratch.
Also, being new, I might not have understood the other reports proper. 
But upp and rnning so alls well for me.
best regards
