Bug Description

During installing Ubuntu I needed to select a partition to install it by my own because Ubuntu didn't see my Windows 10 installed. At the the end of installation I got an error that is impossible to install bootloader at specified position.

Your Windows seems to be installed in efi mode. To get a dualboot, you have to boot the installer also in efi mode.
