Public bug reported:
I have downloaded the latest beta version of Ubuntu Mate 16.04.
Created a USB bootable for installation as suggested on your website.
In BIOS, I had to select the legacy support (with legacy boot as he
first boot option), as the USB was not otherwise recognized. I am using
the same USB stick, which I used to install Windows 10 on this machine.
That time the USB got recognized easily.
Created /boot of 350 MB, swap of 10240 MB and around 240 GB of / (root).
Later on I was informed to have at least 1 MB assigned for bios boot. I
had an already existing partion of 16 MB, which I selected for it.
Installation failed because of some issue with bios boot. I do not want
to lose my windows and hence terminating installation.
