Grub install onto striped array (fakeraid) on / isw_blah_linux1 partition Failed

[Thad Guidry]

I was given an option to choose another bootloader location such as /isw_blah_linux , but error appeared again, then tried to use option to install bootloader onto 4GB USB drive that was inserted already and also had error that Grub could not be installed. After exhausting options to install bootloader onto fakeraid array root partition /isw_blah_linux1 and 4GB USB location /dev/sdj I decided to cancel installation.

12.04 LTS from LIVE CD using Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS icon on desktop.

This problem has appeared previously on this machine. I have been usable to install the bootloader despite repeated tries.

It is a new Gigabyte FM-2 socket MB with a UEFI equipped bios. Although the UEFI is set for recognizing a 'legacy' boot loader I have been unable to install grub trying to install neither Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 nor Mint13. To date I have been unable to find a work around.
