Bug Description

Without any logic the system said that was impossible to create grub2, therefore the system after installation will not boot. I reinstalling Ubuntu 17.10 on my notebook on a previous installation of Ubuntu 17.10 that gave me a lot of problems

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

All right. I reinstalled in EFI mode and everything is now working.
Thank you very much.

Very kind of you. Bye.
