Sorry, this isn't a support mailing list. You can get support at the
Ubuntu Users mailing list [1] and the Ubuntu Forums [2].

There are lots of reasons why the boot loader is failing to install. If
I remember correctly, some of the issues can be worked around by setting
some boot options [3] or by changing BIOS settings, although I'm afraid
I can't be more specific. The folks on ubuntu-users/the forums will be
able to help.

Thanks,

Phil
