Bug Description

If a drive with Windows is present during Ubuntu installation, Ubuntu will install its bootloader on the Windows drive, regardless of the drive selected by the user.

It is desirable to bypass grub menus and select the drive to boot with the BIOS capabilities (F8 -> Windows drive or Ubuntu drive). This is unfortunately not possible because the bootloader is installed the Windows drive regardless of user's choice.
