Bug Description

noting much further to add....i reformatted a 300gb partition on one drive and 150 gb on another drive. i dont know if this is related to multiple hard drive installations or what. i thought i did all the preparation i could and followed methods which were successful in the past with mint 17 and 18 and ubuntu 14. just not this time with multiple attempts and nothing fancy or special other than a few hard drives and windows 10 as the other OS, only other one that runs
