Bug Description

I was installing ubuntu 16.04.3 from the 8GB USB pen drive made by rufus on win7 with MBR for UEFI and FAT32. It was 2 times, because on the other times it stopped when downloaded files and didn't do anything. Previously there was ubuntu 13.04 installed from the DVD, but I haven't got any of them now. Possybly, I would install GRUB2 manually and I'd say if it worked for me.

P.S. Sorry for my not-perfect English.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
