Please close the bug.

I think that this same bug was already closed in Debian but I cannot find the bug itself.

Whatever is working MBR is not GNU/Linux or GRUB, it is a program, usually an antivirus which it is found on Windows.

The user should be able, should know how to use this software so that it recognises the new mbr (and next sectors) as a valid one and saves it as the default one so that it does not get overwritten.

So... as long as this is not a grub error, but the user not knowing how to use his own software the bug should be closed. Now the question is...

Should Ubuntu installation manual take care of these boot-sector-aware programs/antispyware/antivirus and document the steps that an user should do before and after installing Ubuntu regarding the conflictive software?

I am not going to answer the question.
