Bug Description
Hi,
I have two drives in my laptop; the second is an Intel mini-pcie SSD that I installed Linux Mint to.
In the installer, it showed up as /dev/sdb. I partitioned it manually. I never got a prompt to choose where to install the bootloader (GRUB2), so I presumed it would be installed on /dev/sdb.
Unfortunately I discovered that the bootloader had been installed to /dev/sda, where it overwrote my full-disk-encrypted truecrypt Win7 install.
Luckily I didn't lose any critical data, but I am very annoyed that Mint goes around overwriting drives' bootloaders without any prompt or warning.
At least provide the option to choose where the bootloader should be installed.
