Install alongside Windows 10 crashed during Xubuntu install

[Thomas E. Reed]

I was installing Xubuntu 21.10 alongside Windows 10 on a Dell Optiplex 9020 minitower. Both installations are new. The Xubuntu installer divided the WD 1 terabyte SSD in half, which I thought would be fair to both operating systems.

Near the end of the install a fatal error message popped up. I believe it said there was a problem with Grub. Unfortunately I cannot append the logs in this email: the running Xubuntu won't let me access or copy the logs. If you email me at <email address hidden>, I'll get into this computer, and copy the log files /var/log/syslog and var/log/partman and mail them from my own regular Linux Mint computer. Thank you for whatever help you can provide me, and I'll check for email from you tonight after work.
