Bug Description

While trying to install Ubuntu in dual-boot with windows 7 pro on a Lenovo b51-80 installation could not be completed due to Grub could not be found. Big problem is that now the computer cannot even boot on windows 7. I get a blue screen due to hard drive corrupted while booting.
The hard drive was partitionned with a free partition reserved for Linux and formatted before installation. I don't understand why it corrupted the other partition.
