Hi,
I put the ubuntu 12.04 iso onto a bootable usb drive
then all was fine until this error came up
executing 'grub-install/dev/sdb' failed
I selected the option where it installed onto the whole hard drive (wiping out all previous partitions. I believe the whole 500gb drive is called /dev/sda
I now have a screen saying
Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location.
How would you like to proceed?
Choose a diffrent device to install the bootloader on:
/dev/sdb - the one that faild
/dev/sda -ATA SAMSUNG HDS02IJ (500.1 GB)
/dev/sda1
If I choose /dev/sda, will it fix the problem?
Thanks for any help
