[Bug 1799759] [NEW] SSD upgrade, Grub to HDD

[Szeni]

Public bug reported:

Hy, I want to upgrade my PC with an SSD.
I have used Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before from a HDD.
I want to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 to an SSD. I let the old system for redundance.
But I want to install grub to the old HDD replacing the old grub.
The installer can't do it.
