So, in short, it seems to me that the warning should have said that this would create problems with my current install, not just the old one that I was wiping out, and it seems there should be an option to fix the problem--format to boot in EFI mode for future use. It could have told me what you're telling me here, but it told me something else that suggested that this wasn't actually a problem. I "chose not to" because the warning didn't clearly apply to my situation.
I had tried booting in bios mode and on my computer I couldn't get it to work for some reason, which is why I booted in EFI mode. So I didn't see any option other than booting in EFI and trying to partition it in EFI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586717 Title: Grub will not install during fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, installer crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1586717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
