I have got a MSI Notebook with 2 SSD and one HDD inside. I installed Windows on SSD one and Ubuntu on SSD two. The HDD is for some data. After that, I could not boot Ubuntu - Windows 8.1 started every time. I chanced the boot order or selected Ubuntu manually, but Windows starts ever time.
So I tried to install Ubuntu on the second SSD again, but I got the following error while installing:
grub-efi-amd64-signed failed to install into /target/.
Without GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot
[OK]
(I uploaded the bug report to Launchpad, too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1498049 )
I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 from an 4GB USB Stick. I put the .iso file with the Windows tool "Rufus" on the USB stick and made it ready for UEFI/GPT. I also disabled secure boot and fast boot in the UEFI / BIOS.
