Bug Description

I have two hard drives one has windows 10 and an empty ssd drive.
I want to install ubuntu on the empty ssd drive alongside windows.
Windows is using efi boot manager partition and efi option for HHD is enabled in the bios.
I created new partitions on the empty ssd for root, home and swap and I chose windows boot manager efi partition for boot loader.

However, I get grub 2 failed to install on /dev/sda1 which is the efi partition.

What should I do to install ubuntu in the ssd hard alongside windows?

Thanks
