Bug Description
Download 64 Bit ubuntu image Precise 12.04.1 use Pendrive linux to create a bootable USB.
When you review partitions and are n the resizing area. if you choose the option 'click here to view all partitions' it will also show you where it plans to install grub.
on my system /dev/sda is my hard drive and /dev/sdb is my USB. Ubuntu installer displayed the default drive to install grub on to be /dev/sdb my USB.
This should default to the drive where the distribution files are being installed /dev/sda, if it is not and is left as default the user will be left with an unusable system.
