I unplugged my external USB drive, my eSATA drive, all internal SATA drives except the one to be nuked and my optical drive.

multiple drives. I disconnected that as well. I booted with the CD. The only drive to show up in dban was the one to be nuked. I started the process and SUCCESS! So, if you have SATA drives and are getting non-fatal errors / process crash then unplug every drive and anything that can show up as a drive (card readers etc.) before running dban. If this works for you leave a comment to bump the post and spread the word.

Its built-in OS is Windows 8.1 and it has a 256GB SSD. I've made a separate 90GB partition just for Ubuntu and a live USB to 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 kern
a more recent post which describes how to use hdparm and ATA Secure Erase to wipe drives, which might be of interest if you're thinking of using DBAN, and http://www.stevenmaude.co.uk/posts/dariks-boot-and-nuke-unrecognized particularly if you're erasing an SSD. Over last Bank Holiday weekend, I'd been trying to install a dual boot system and having lots of fun. Actually, for "lots of", read none, though at least it works how I want it to now; maybe a subject for a later post. One issue I thought I might be having was remnants of partition tables no medium still sticking on the drive, despite me doing a fresh install. I decided it would be sensible to obliterate everything and start from a completely empty drive as installing two operating systems can be a fairly lengthy process (and a tedious one, if you've done it several times as I had done). Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) is a free, Linux-based boot no medium found disk that lets you do just that. It needs to be used with great care since it can wipe data from drives irrecoverably. In my case, this wasn't an issue as, if anything, I wanted to start from scratch. Unfortunately, on booting DBAN, I was presented with an "unrecognized device" showing up along with my hard disk. I was able to select my hard disk to erase it, but then the erase immediately failed. As this support thread describes, this can be caused by internal media (e.g. SD) card readers. So, anyway that you can deactivate the card reader might resolve this problem. Disconnecting the reader from the PC (not necessarily so easy if you're working with a laptop) or temporarily disabling the reader in the BIOS are two options. In my case, the BIOS didn't let me do this and I didn't really want to bother getting out screwdrivers unless I absolutely had to. For me, the solution that worked was also pointed out in the same thread, entering the command dban nousb at the DBAN boot: prompt. Then, only my hard disk
