Public bug reported: Windows 7 with strange partition layout on /dev/sda, Ubuntu 15.10 sees it but Ubuntu 16.04 des not see it. /dev/sdb seems to have normal partition layout. Found on Google how to install grub manually: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd
When selecting /dev/sdb I think it still is /dev/sda in the script variable.
