Bug Description
I had working system, 16.04.04, which got booting problem every second time. I have tested 18.04 from USB and it it worked without problem for a few days: then I've added another HDD and tried to install 18.04 on this HD (previously used in a Windows system). Installation failed at writing grub2.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios mode, 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.
