Bug Description

HI
I currently have Windows 10 and I wanted to have a dual OS with Ubuntu.
So I downloaded ISO file and made it into a bootable USB, went into BIOS and installed Ubuntu.

I chose the "install alongside WIn10" and filled in the rest of the details and the installation started.

It was all going fine until I got an error about boot not installed (something a long those lines). I also recall is mentioning something about grub.

Anyways, I hope someone can tell me what went wrong and why the installation got cancelled.

Thanks in advance, Suhail
