when installing alongside Wondows 10 from live USB stick the grub loader could not install

[Jonas Berberich]

I tried to install Ubunto 16 alongside Windows 10. The grub setup gave an error.

Follow that howto, and remember to use not only 'primary' partitions as seen into the ubiquity output: 'primary' cant be more than 4, so set an 'extended' partition and max 3 'primary ones.

As you have not followed the basic partitionning rules, that report is a false positive, and so been closed.
