Install program fails to install boot loader and crashes.

[Aaron Hoffer]

 Tried to made /dev/sdb the boot device. It pukes. Maybe it doesn't like my old Vertex SSD?

Installed boot-repair.
Running it now.
It found 2 instances of GRUB to remove.

That should resolve the issue, but why there were 2 instances in the first place is a bit perplexing. Do you by any chance have a part or model # for the SSD. I'll try to get my hands on one and test this out if you can provide a part #.
