Bug Description

Trying to install Ubuntu Mate 20.04 along Windows 10.

Error is the same as below.

#992379 Installer crashed. Created separate /boot partition, could not install, fatal error occured
Confirmed (3 comments) last updated 2014-12-16 view this bug

I created separate parition /boot, /, /home. While trying to install ubutnu 12.04 LTS, the installer crashed, (even though I can see a message in background, installation finished, continue testing or restart.) Apparently, the bootloader cannot be installed in /boot partition(250MiB). Tried to install on Windows 7 bootloader, Windows 8 Bootloader, /dev/sda, /(root), but nothing worked. The other operations available were continue without installing bootloader, or cancel the installation.

Tried some solutions from googling the fault, but so far nothing has yet worked.

Will next try to install from a USB instead of a DVD.
