install did not work, apparently something about not being able to install grub2

[ann yard]

The problem was reported at the end of the install process. I previously tried partitioning with a grubbios (or some name like that) partition at the beginning, since the disk drive is a 3TB seagate SATA3 7200rpm unit, but that installation would not boot (though it appeared to complete the installation process without problems). Note that this was an attempt to perform a complete fresh install of a single-boot system on the entire HDD with no other disk drives in the system. This was an attempted install of the 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 DVD ISO.

It looks like you had some corrupt files. If you are using a usb flash drive to install, please format it and try again.
