-- iso.qa.ubuntu.com details
box had internet cable disconnected, install was as expected until error box appeared that it was unable to write boot loader to device & select box asking me to select device was offered, I kept trying to use sda (ssd) but it'd reject & ask again. I tried a few times before clicking continue
install completed, on reboot I get no OS found error
** Expected Results
I'd expect the SSD selected to be acceptable, not repeating errors & then fail to boot on selecting continue.
