Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Changed in grub-installer (Ubuntu):

Hi Phillip.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, I eventually got it to work when I made a boot partition.

I also tried to install the boot-loader on different HD's.

It could have been helpful with a reminder at the time of the hard-disk guide.

Cheers and Best Regards, Olav
