I am new to Linux and i wanted to install Ubuntu onto my old Sony Vaio. It meets all the requirements. But when installing from a USB a get an error that says 'unable to install grub in /dev/sda' this is a fatal error
I have seen few topics on this sort of same message, but all the options that are given there, are not available when I try to install it.
Please help im already getting really frustrated because i tried it 10 times using different ways, but no luck so far.
I have looked at the "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda” when installing GRUB" thread, but the solution that they offer did not help me fix my problem.
Being new to ubuntu, i figure out where i can change the installation directory, by choosing 'Something else' during install, making the partition by myself and setting the path to that partition, and then installing it.
emacs
use nano to edit the fileDevice for boot loader installation
. That's where you'd change it.
