Executing Grub-install /dev/sdb Failed

install it. The first time everything seemed to work great, I solved the wifi issued by blacklisting ideapad_laptop, the installation went flawlessly and Ubuntu worked fine. When I got up the next morning and turned on my laptop it booted into Windows right away without ever showing the GRUB menu. So I tried to reset, and checked my partitions with the Disk Manager and everything looked fine. Since I couldn't find a solution online I went ahead and formatted the partition to try and install again. This time and every time since, the installation was aborted and I got a fatal error saying: Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda Executing `grub-install /dev/sda` failed. This is a fatal error. Can anyone please suggest a solution to this problem? If any further information is needed I would be happy to provide it. Thanks. When installing I get the following in details: ubuntu kernel: [ 1946.372741] FAT-fs (sda2): error, fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0). ubuntu grub-installer: error: Running 'grub-install --force failed. grub2 system-installation share|improve this question edited May 26 '14 at 21:14 Braiam 39k1693154 asked May 2 '14 at 16:56 vicban3d 1831312 possible duplicate of Ubuntu on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro –rubo77 May

As a result installation script can't find the file and failed to install grub. Quick workaround is that(if you burn iso in USB flash drive) go to pool/main/g/grub2-signed(in usb flash disk) and rename the deb file manually (add 64). Now boot from usb flash drive and run a disk check to be sure. share|improve this answer answered Feb 3 '14 at 16:59 shantanu 3,44873873 my issue solved thanks –Mudassar Ali Sahil Mar 17 '14 at 7:58 I don't have a /pool –Aaron Franke Dec 16 '15 at 19:17 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote Hello It would be easiest to just start from the beginning so lets do that, okay?First, boot to your USB and let Ubuntu start a live session. You will see an icon on the desktop that says Install Ubuntu on your desktop. Launch (click on) it. When you get to the screen where it asks you if you want to replace an existing install or install next to it or Something Else, choose Something Else. Now you will see a screen

The latest testing kubuntu installer almost finished, then report grub error could not install grub to /dev/sdb. However, I then used terminal to sudo grub-install --root-directoyr=/mnt/ /dev/sdb which didn't report errors, and I assume will boot, but just reporting because installer did not work correctly out of box.
