Problems with installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (grub)

Question

When installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS when the installation comes to the installation of "grub 2", it terminates and gives an error:

could not install the grub bootloader into target.

But the version of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and other distributions are installed without such problems. Please tell me what to do?

Answer 1

I had a same problem. Most likely you are missing ESP partition on your first drive.

-Start install again

-Chose "something else" option when prompted

-Resize your sda1 partition and mount it as root

-Make new partition of 100-200Mb and for type select ESP

This should solve your problem.

Answer 2

At the beginning of the partition division make room for installation. Prepare for ESP menu options and bootloader.
