Bug Description

I have an Acer Aspire S7-391 running Windows 8.1.

I partitioned 1 GB for EFI, 4 GB for swag and 10 GB for the Ubuntu installation. When I attempt to install Ubuntu 14.04.01 off a flash drive, the installer crashes when it comes to installing grub. Do I need different partitions or to partition my hard drive differently?

Thanks
