Eventually I figured out what happened. I have two hard drives, sda and sdb and decided to install Ubuntu on sdb.
There was a single partition on sda, named sda2, where Windows lives. Some time ago I had two partitions, sda1 and sda2, then I removed sda1. Installation process went wrong on "Migrate settings from Windows" or on "Intall Grub" phase. Ubuntu installer was trying to access /dev/sda1, which doesn't exist. It looks like installer assumes that if you have Windows on the second drive, then the Windows lives on /dev/sda1 partition, and that is not always true, because the user may have re-partitioned the hard drive. I could fix the problem by re-creating partitions table for /dev/sda, then I installed Windows on /dev/sda1. After that I ran Ubuntu installer and installed Ubuntu on my second hard drive without any problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998066 Title: ubuntu installer crashes when installing Ubuntu on the second hard drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/998066/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
