I have the same, the installer crashed whilst installing the bootloader, which hasn't installed correctly. Is this because GRUB doesn't work if /boot/grub/... can't be accessed by the BIOS? I.e. my / partition is 40GB after the start of the disk (Windows got there first). I've never had GRUB working in this situation, but Lilo does (I think all of LILO fits in the MBR?)
