Public bug reported: 1.) I created a USB Live Installer for Ubuntu LTS 16.04.3 from within Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (updated reg.), using ubuntu live USB creator. 2.) I disconnected all other 2 HD's on my computer then installed the newly created Live USB Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS on the remaining HD with existing Linux Mint (latest stable). I used the 2nd option of reusing the existing partitions used by Linux Mint. (can't recall if I reformatted, but I recall selecting the "mount partion as root" anew (ext4). 3.) Sometime later during the installation, system says cannot write boot loader on HD and system will no be able to boot.
