Bug Description

I tried installing ubuntu 16.04 lts amd64:
I shrunk the C: volume by 25GB.
I ran rufus to make bootable usb.
I disabled secure boot.
I then proceeded to install ubuntu in the unallocated 25 GB.
I formatted 20GB as ext4, and mousepoint to /.
I then formatted 5GB as ext4, /home.
When I run the installation it says crash due to error in grub2.

Thank you sir. I repaired the partition just a few days ago. I just need
confirmation that there is nothing else wrong. Thank you again.
