Bug Description

I first deleted partitions on 4T HD so I could install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on its own HD. Tried direct install from CD and crashed when trying to install boot loader to /dev/nvmeOnp1. I believe this is where the Windows 10 Home boot resides. It Froze the system and would not quit. Had to hard power off, power on and rebooted to Windows without problem. Tried "Try Ubuntu" and using the icon to install. Crashed same place. Tried again installing, crashed same place but this time it permitted me to report error. I have used older versions with this Windows 10 Home with no problems using same hardware.
