Bug Description

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20.04.6 alongside windows 10. I cleared out an 80 gigs partition (MBR) in hard disk and prepared a bootable usb with ubuntu files (GPT) and initiated the setup. Didn't select the partitions manually, instead chose the Install Ubuntu alongside Windows option in the setup page. Everything went well, but the grub2 package installation failed. Showed an error "Executing 'grub-install'/dev/sd' failed. This is a fatal error."
