Win Vista is installed on the primary partition of the hard disk (recognized as sda by Ubuntu LiveCD) and Ive selected 1 partition(sda6) as "/" during installation. The installation (Hardy Heron) progresses fine till 94% (after detection of hardware etc) and fails with the error message : Error executing "grub-install (hd0)" failed. Fatal Error Of course, on reboot I don't get any grub and get straight booted into the Vista partition. Btw I have lenovo laptop with "one touch recovery" i.e. At the time of startup… there is a button called lenovo care in notebook which intrupts normal windows boot and lead to recovery module… using this module I can reinstall vista as it was at the time of factory production. Firstly, is there anything wrong in my selected configuration. If not, any tips on how I can resolve this problem / move ahead ? Thanks in advance.

I have two disks, sdb and sdc. I've been following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID which more or less works for getting everything set up and Ubuntu installed. The problem is at the end of the installation, it tries to install GRUB. By default it tries my "first disk", which gives a "fatal error". I've tried installing it on a specific partion, e.g. sdb1 as well as RAID devices, e.g. md0, md1, etc.. Nothing seems to work. The actual error is Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sdb Executing 'grub-install '/dev/sdb' failed. This is a fatal error. Then I'm taken back to the main install menu. If I choose "Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" option, I can pick the partition, but entering sdb2 or md1 gives the same error. So I went ahead an just didn't install GRUB, which means now I presumably have a working Ubuntu installation, but I can't boot it. I've tried booting from the LiveCD to install GRUB, but I can't chroot into my system because it doesn't seem to recognize that my disk is a Linux disk. There's an error about it being a RAID partition. So basically I would really like to know how you know to which device to install GRUB at installation, or at the very least, how to install it on to my system now. I suppose I should also mention that sda is a Windows 7 installation that I would like to keep
