I've been looking around for hours now, and have not found a solution yet. When I install Ubuntu on my Windows 7 machine using the CD, everything goes great until towards the end of the installation where it says something about a fatal error that the grub/bootloader could not install to /dev/sdb (Or /dev/sdc or whatever I don't remember), then it gives me three options to choose from:

  • Choose another place to install the bootloader.
  • Continue without bootloader.
  • Cancel installation.

I really have no idea what to do. I read something about RAID, but I'm not sure what kind of RAID I have (I'm pretty sure I have RAID though)

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much, have a great day!

Are you using a laptop or a desktop? (Desktops can have raid, laptops certainly do not), How many hard drives are in your Desktop if you have one? (2 or more drives and you may have raid, 1 hard drive then you certainly do not). During installation, run ls -l /dev/sd* and mount and edit your question to include all this information. – Huckle Jan 27 at 18:55
