[Bug 1864515] [NEW] The install disk for 18.04.4 AMD64 failed boot loader installation on a HP DV7 laptop

[David R. Wilson]

Public bug reported:

This was a HP DV7 with a Windows 7 drive and another new solid state drive for the Linux partition.
I plan to swap the drives and try again if I can't get the boot loader to install.  This laptop
had Windows 7 and Ubuntu 18.04.3 on it until one of the drives failed.
