While installing Precise to a USB media that previously held an isohybrid image, installation fails with error message:
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: hd2 appears to contain a iso9660 filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot. Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your own risk).
